2. Psalm 8: How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David. 1 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? 5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, 7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord,

3. Psalm 9: I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds
To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.
Tell among the peoples his deeds!
     12     For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;
     1     I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
     13     Be gracious to me, O Lord!
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.
See my affliction from those who hate me,
     2     I will be glad and exult in you;
O you who lift me up from the gates of death,
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
     14     that I may recount all your praises,
     3     When my enemies turn back,
that in the gates of the daughter of Zion
they stumble and perish before your presence.
I may rejoice in your salvation.
     4     For you have maintained my just cause;
     15     The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
     5     You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish;
in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
     16     The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment;
you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
     6     The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion. Selah
their cities you rooted out;
the very memory of them has perished.
     17     The wicked shall return to Sheol,
     7     But the Lord sits enthroned forever;
all the nations that forget God.
he has established his throne for justice,
     18     For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
     8     and he judges the world with righteousness;
and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
he judges the peoples with uprightness.
     19     Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail;
     9     The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
let the nations be judged before you!
a stronghold in times of trouble.
     20     Put them in fear, O Lord!
     10     And those who know your name put their trust in you,
Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah
for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
     11     Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!

4. Psalm 13: How Long, O Lord? To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
     1     How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
     2     How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
          How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
     3     Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
     4     lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
     5     But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
     6     I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
