Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.

Who is He, this King of glory?
The Lord of Hosts,
He is the King of glory.Selah

No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.

All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth
to those who keep His covenant and decrees.

Who is the man who fears the Lord?
He will show him the way he should choose.

The secret counsel of the Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.

Davidic.The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom should I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom should I be afraid?

Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with the evildoers,
who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors
while malice is in their hearts.

I hate those who are devoted to worthless idols,
but I trust in the Lord.

I am ridiculed by all my adversaries
and even by my neighbors.
I am dreaded by my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street run from me.

How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.

Be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord.

Therefore let everyone who is faithful pray to You
at a time that You may be found.
When great floodwaters come,
they will not reach him.

Many pains come to the wicked,
but the one who trusts in the Lord
will have faithful love surrounding him.

Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;
their faces will never be ashamed.

The Angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear Him, and rescues them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
How happy is the man who takes refuge in Him!

You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh,
for those who fear Him lack nothing.

Young lions lack food and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord
will not lack any good thing.

Who is the man who delights in life,
loving a long life to enjoy what is good?

The face of the Lord is set
against those who do what is evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth.

Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.

Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

The Lord redeems the life of His servants,
and all who take refuge in Him will not be punished.

Davidic.Oppose my opponents, Lord;
fight those who fight me.

Let those who seek to kill me
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who plan to harm me
be turned back and ashamed.

My very bones will say,
“Lord, who is like You,
rescuing the poor from one too strong for him,
the poor or the needy from one who robs him?”

Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me;
do not let those who hate me without cause
look at me maliciously.

For they do not speak in friendly ways,
but contrive deceitful schemes
against those who live peacefully in the land.

Let those who rejoice at my misfortune
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and reproach.

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

Spread Your faithful love over those who know You,
and Your righteousness over the upright in heart.

Davidic.Do not be agitated by evildoers;
do not envy those who do wrong.

Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him;
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the man who carries out evil plans.

For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.

Those who are blessed by Him will inherit the land,
but those cursed by Him will be destroyed.

Those who seek my life set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.

I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.
I am like a speechless person
who does not open his mouth.

I am like a man who does not hear
and has no arguments in his mouth.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

Those who repay evil for good
attack me for pursuing good.

“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.

How happy is the man
who has put his trust in the Lord
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!

Let those who seek to take my life
be disgraced and confounded.
Let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.

Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
be horrified because of their shame.

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
let those who love Your salvation continually say,
“The Lord is great!”

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.Happy is one who cares for the poor;
the Lord will save him in a day of adversity.

All who hate me whisper together about me;
they plan to harm me.

Even my friend in whom I trusted,
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me.

You are my King, my God,
who ordains victories for Jacob.

But You give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.

You make us retreat from the foe,
and those who hate us
have taken plunder for themselves.

For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.

Come, see the works of the Lord,
who brings devastation on the earth.

He chooses for us our inheritance—
the pride of Jacob, whom He loves.Selah

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who inhabit the world,

This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.Selah

“Gather My faithful ones to Me,
those who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

“Understand this, you who forget God,
or I will tear you apart,
and there will be no one to rescue you.

“Here is the man
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”

For the choir director: on Mahalath. A Davidic Maskil.The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.”
They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds.
There is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven on the human race
to see if there is one who is wise,
one who seeks God.

All have turned away;
all alike have become corrupt.
There is no one who does good,
not even one.

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

Now it is not an enemy who insults me—
otherwise I could bear it;
it is not a foe who rises up against me—
otherwise I could hide from him.

But it is you, a man who is my peer,
my companion and good friend!

I call to God Most High,
to God who fulfills His purpose for me.

He reaches down from heaven and saves me,
challenging the one who tramples me.Selah
God sends His faithful love and truth.

I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down with those who devour men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongues are sharp swords.

that does not listen to the sound of the charmers
who skillfully weave spells.

Then people will say,
“Yes, there is a reward for the righteous!
There is a God who judges on earth!”

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A Davidic Miktam. When Saul sent agents to watch the house and kill him.Deliver me from my enemies, my God;
protect me from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from those who practice sin,
and save me from men of bloodshed.

Look, they spew from their mouths—
sharp words from their lips.
“For who,” they say, “will hear?”

You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers.Selah

Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

God, haven’t You rejected us?
God, You do not march out with our armies.

God, You have heard my vows;
You have given a heritage
to those who fear Your name.

But those who seek to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.

But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him will boast,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.

who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,

They encourage each other in an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”

They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.

All humanity will come to You,
the One who hears prayer.

Those who live far away are awed by Your signs;
You make east and west shout for joy.

Come and listen, all who fear God,
and I will tell what He has done for me.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.God arises. His enemies scatter,
and those who hate Him flee from His presence.

Sing to God! Sing praises to His name.
Exalt Him who rides on the clouds —
His name is Yahweh—and rejoice before Him.

God provides homes for those who are deserted.
He leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a scorched land.

“The kings of the armies flee—they flee!”
She who stays at home divides the spoil.

Surely God crushes the heads of His enemies,
the hairy head of one who goes on in his guilty acts.

Your God has decreed your strength.
Show Your strength, God,
You who have acted on our behalf.

Rebuke the beast in the reeds,
the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.
Trample underfoot those with bars of silver.
Scatter the peoples who take pleasure in war.

to Him who rides in the ancient, highest heavens.
Look, He thunders with His powerful voice!

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

Do not let those who put their hope in You
be disgraced because of me,
Lord God of Hosts;
do not let those who seek You
be humiliated because of me,
God of Israel.

because zeal for Your house has consumed me,
and the insults of those who insult You
have fallen on me.

Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.

Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.
Let me be rescued from those who hate me
and from the deep waters.
