Never grant, LORD, the desires of the wicked; never condone their plans so they cannot exalt themselves. Interlude

Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.

Let the righteous [thoughtfully] strike (correct) me—it is a kindness [done to encourage my spiritual maturity].
It is [the choicest anointing] oil on the head;
Let my head not refuse [to accept and acknowledge and learn from] it;
For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

Look on my right hand, and see; For there is no man that knoweth me: Refuge hath failed me; No man careth for my soul.

I cry out to you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

Free me from prison
so that I can praise Your name.
The righteous will gather around me
because You deal generously with me.

And [so] my spirit grows faint within me; my heart {within} me is desolate.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don't hide your face from me, so that I don't become like those who go down into the pit.

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

LORD, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto him? Or the son of man, that thou so regardest him?

O Yahweh, bow the heavens and come down; touch the mountains so that they smoke.

Send Your hand from above; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of a foreigner's sons;

so that our sons may be like plants grown up in their youth; and our daughters may be like corner-stones, polished like a palace building;

How blessed are the people who are so situated;
How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!

{David's Psalm of praise.} I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man].

so that men shall speak of the might of thy marvelous acts, and tell of thy greatness.

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

Everyone's eyes are on you, as you give them their food in due time.

My mouth will declare Yahweh’s praise;
let every living thing
praise His holy name forever and ever.

Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem;
He gathers Israel’s exiled people.

He takes no delight in the strength of a horse, and gains no pleasure in the runner's swiftness.

But the LORD's delight is in them that fear him, and put their trust in his mercy.

He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

So caused he them to stand perpetually - age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.

Praise Jehovah from the earth, Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let Zion’s children rejoice in their King.
