For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

And those who know Your name [who have experienced Your precious mercy] will put their confident trust in You,
For You, O Lord, have not abandoned those who seek You.

The wicked, in the haughtiness of his face, will not seek nor inquire for Him;
All his thoughts are, “There is no God [so there is no accountability or punishment].”

As for God's chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much --

In my trouble I will call upon the LORD, and complain unto my God. So he shall hear my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint shall come before him: it shall enter even into his ears. {TYNDALE: In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.}

Indeed, with your help I can charge against an army; by my God's power I can jump over a wall.

How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

Trust [rely on and have confidence] in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land and feed [securely] on His faithfulness.

Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide forever.

A psalm of David, written to get God's attention. O Lord, do not continue to rebuke me in your anger! Do not continue to punish me in your raging fury!

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When may I come and appear in God's presence?

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.

We heard about God's mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him." For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

God’s faithful love is constant.

But I am like a flourishing olive tree
in the house of God;
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.

We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.

I will comfort myself in God's word; yea, I will hope in God, and not fear. What can flesh then do unto me?

In God's word will I rejoice, in the LORD's word will I comfort me.

By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.

He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

You visit the earth and water it abundantly,
enriching it greatly.
God’s stream is filled with water,
for You prepare the earth in this way,
providing people with grain.

Come, and see God's deeds -- awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.

Mount Bashan is God’s towering mountain;
Mount Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

God’s chariots are tens of thousands,
thousands and thousands;
the Lord is among them in the sanctuary
as He was at Sinai.

and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

For He established a testimony (a specific precept) in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach to their children [the great facts of God’s transactions with Israel],

so that they might put their confidence in God
and not forget God’s works,
but keep His commands.

They did not keep God’s covenant
and refused to live by His law.

God’s anger flared up against them,
and He killed some of their best men.
He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.

For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God's dwelling-places in possession.

for a day in your Temple courts is better than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather stand at the entrance of God's house than live in the tent of wickedness.

Show me a token for good, so that they who hate me may see and be ashamed; because You, Jehovah, have helped me and comforted me.

God's foundation is in the holy mountains.

They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

He has remembered His love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.

Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the [soaring] eagle.

O children of Abraham, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones!

He sent [thick, oppressive] darkness and made the land dark;
And Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His words.

because they rebelled against God’s commands
and despised the counsel of the Most High.

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.

Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

How blessed and favored by God are those whose way is blameless [those with personal integrity, the upright, the guileless],
Who walk in the law [and who are guided by the precepts and revealed will] of the Lord.

Depart from me, you evil ones,
so that I may obey my God’s commands.

Our soul is greatly filled
With the scoffing of those who are at ease,
And with the contempt of the proud [who disregard God’s law].

For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land of the righteous,
So that the righteous will not reach out their hands to do wrong.

you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God's house.

O house of Israel, bless and praise the Lord [with gratitude];
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

If only you would kill the wicked, O God-- so get away from me, [you] {bloodthirsty men}--

To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts
And the glorious majesty of Your kingdom.
