I said, "I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue make me sin; I will not say anything while evil people are near."

I wait patiently for God to save me; I depend on him alone.

There with them were Heman and Jeduthun and the others who were specifically chosen to sing praises to the LORD for his eternal love.

Heman and Jeduthun also had charge of the trumpets and cymbals and the other instruments which were played when the songs of praise were sung. The members of Jeduthun's clan were in charge of guarding the gates.

The six sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. Under the direction of their father they proclaimed God's message, accompanied by the music of harps, and sang praise and thanks to the LORD.

All of his sons played cymbals and harps under their father's direction, to accompany the Temple worship. And Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under orders from the king.

The Almighty God, the LORD, speaks; he calls to the whole earth from east to west.

I call to the LORD for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me.

The helpless call to him, and he answers; he saves them from all their troubles.

But I call to the LORD God for help, and he will save me.

Morning, noon, and night my complaints and groans go up to him, and he will hear my voice.

I call to the LORD for help; I plead with him.

When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do. In the path where I walk, my enemies have hidden a trap for me.

I love the LORD, because he hears me; he listens to my prayers.

He listens to me every time I call to him.
