Psalms

¹ I bless God every chance I get; my lungs expand with his praise.

² if things aren't going well, hear this and be happy:

³ together let's get the word out.

⁴ he freed me from my anxious fears.

⁵ Never hide your feelings from him.

⁶ and God got me out of a tight spot.

⁷ of protection around us while we pray.

⁸ how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him.

⁹ worship opens doors to all his goodness.

¹⁰ but God-seekers are full of God.

¹¹ I'll give you a lesson in God worship.

¹² Can't wait each day to come upon beauty?

¹³ and no more lying through your teeth.

¹⁴ Embrace peace—don't let it get away!

¹⁵ his ears pick up every moan and groan.

¹⁶ he'll cull them from the pack.

¹⁷ ready to rescue you.

¹⁸ if you're kicked in the gut, he'll help you catch your breath.

¹⁹ still, God is there every time.

²⁰ not even a finger gets broken.

²¹ they waste their lives hating the good.

²² no one who runs to him loses out.
