LORD, may your gracious love be upon us, even as we hope in you. By David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away. So David left.

Magnify the LORD with me! Let us lift up his name together!

LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number.

God, we heard it with our ears; our ancestors told us about what you did in their day a long time ago.

Through you we will knock down our oppressors; through your name we will tread down those who rise up against us.

For you delivered us from our oppressors and put to shame those who hate us.

However, you cast us off and made us ashamed! You did not even march with our armies!

You made us retreat from our oppressors. Our enemies ransacked us.

You handed us over to be slaughtered like sheep and you scattered us among the nations.

You made us a laughing stock to our neighbors, a source of mockery and derision to those around us.

You made us an object lesson among the nations; people shake their heads at us.

All this came upon us, yet we did not forsake you, and we have not dealt falsely with your covenant;

Nevertheless, you crushed us in the lair of jackals, and covered us in deep darkness.

Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying "Who will hear us?"

God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us!

You made your people go through hard times; you had us drink wine that makes us stagger.

So your loved ones may be delivered, save us by your power and answer us quickly!

Aren't you the one, God, who has cast us off? Didn't you refuse, God, to accompany our armies?

Help us in our distress, for human help is worthless.

People, in every situation put your trust in God; pour out your heart before him; for God is a refuge for us. Interlude

things that we have heard and known and that our ancestors related to us.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and a derision to those around us.

Help us, God, our deliverer, on account of your glorious name, deliver us and forgive our sins on account of your name.

God, restore us, show your favor and deliver us.

You have set us at strife against our neighbors and our enemies deride us.

Come! Let us sing joyfully to the LORD! Let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us shout with songs of praise to him.

Come! Let us worship and bow down; let us kneel in the presence of the LORD, who made us.

Acknowledge that the LORD is God. He made us and we belong to him; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

He neither deals with us according to our sins, nor repays us equivalent to our iniquity.

As distant as the east is from the west, that is how far he has removed our sins from us.

Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people. Visit us with your deliverance,

Deliver us, LORD our God, gather us from among the nations so we may praise your holy name and rejoice in praising you.

God, you have rejected us, have you not, since you did not march out with our army, God?

Give us help against the enemy, because human help is useless.

Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be given glory on account of your gracious love and faithfulness.

The LORD remembers and blesses us. He will indeed bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

For great is his gracious love toward us, and the LORD's faithfulness is eternal. Hallelujah!

Please LORD, deliver us! Please LORD, hurry and bring success now!

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD! Let us bless you from the LORD's house.

Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

if the LORD had not been on our side, when men came against us,

then they would have devoured us alive, when their anger burned against us.

Then the flood waters would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have flooded over us;

the swollen waters would have swept us away.

Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

The great things that the LORD has done for us gladden us.

He it is who remembered us in our lowly circumstances, for his gracious love is everlasting

and rescued us from our enemies, for his gracious love is everlasting.

for it was there that our captors asked us for songs and our torturers demanded joy from us, "Sing us one of the songs about Zion!"
