How I pray that victory will come to Israel from Zion. How happy the people of Israel will be when the LORD makes them prosperous again!

Help us, O God, and save us; rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of your own honor.

Why should the nations ask us, "Where is your God?" Let us see you punish the nations for shedding the blood of your servants.

Save us, O LORD our God, and bring us back from among the nations, so that we may be thankful and praise your holy name.

Praise the LORD, the God of Israel; praise him now and forever! Let everyone say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD!

so that his people would obey his laws and keep all his commands. Praise the LORD!

They are the people I made for myself, and they will sing my praises!"

Let us, then, who were the first to hope in Christ, praise God's glory!

Come as living stones, and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ.

But you are the chosen race, the King's priests, the holy nation, God's own people, chosen to proclaim the wonderful acts of God, who called you out of darkness into his own marvelous light.

Sing praise to the LORD; tell the wonderful things he has done.

Be glad that we belong to him; let all who worship him rejoice!

We will always praise you and give thanks to you forever.

I, the LORD, will rescue all the descendants of Jacob, and they will give me praise.

So then, as the scripture says, "Whoever wants to boast must boast of what the Lord has done."
