(title

For the choir director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger,
Nor chasten me in Your wrath.

Help

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!

For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

Return, O Lord, rescue my soul;
Save me because of Your lovingkindness.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?”
Save me, O God, by Your name,
And vindicate me by Your power.

And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!”

But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Godly

God looked on the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

Unless the Lord of hosts

Had left us a few survivors,
We would be like Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.

The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from evil,

“I looked, and there was no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.

“Roam to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem,
And look now and take note.
And seek in her open squares,
If you can find a man,

If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth,

Then I will pardon her.

Woe is me! For I am
Like the fruit pickers, like the grape gatherers.
There is not a cluster of grapes to eat,
Or a first-ripe fig which I crave.

Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

Faithful

Many a man proclaims his own loyalty,
But who can find a trustworthy man?

No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly.

They trust in confusion and speak lies;
They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

General references

Why do You make me see iniquity,
And cause me to look on wickedness?
Yes, destruction and violence are before me;

Strife exists and contention arises.
