The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it,
The world, and those who dwell in it.

Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,
Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.

Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord, and vindicated by the God who delivers them.

This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

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

Who is [He then] this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.

Indeed, none of those who [expectantly] wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who turn away from what is right and deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed (humiliated, embarrassed).

Guide me in your truth and teach me; for you are the God who delivers me. All day long I have waited for you.

All the paths of the Lord are lovingkindness and goodness and truth and faithfulness
To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.

Who is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with submissive wonder]?
He will teach him [through His word] in the way he should choose.

The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.

My eyes look to the LORD continuously, because he's the one who releases my feet from the trap.

See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.

I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.

I hate the company of those who practice evil, nor do I sit with the wicked.

Do not group me with sinners, nor include me with men who shed blood.

who are always ready to do wrong or offer a bribe.

The Lord is my light and my salvation—
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge and fortress of my life—
Whom shall I dread?

When those who practice evil, my enemies, and my oppressors come near me to devour my flesh, they stumble and fall.

Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies, even those who surround me. I will sacrifice in his tent with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melodies to the LORD.

Do not hide Your face from me,
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not abandon me nor leave me,
O God of my salvation!

Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me on a level path
Because of my enemies [who lie in wait].

Do not hand me over to the desires of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me; even the one who breathes out violence.

To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit.

Do not drag me away with the wicked
And with those who do evil,
Who speak peace with their neighbors,
While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

I hate those who pay regard to vain (empty, worthless) idols;
But I trust in the Lord [and rely on Him with unwavering confidence].

Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me on the street run from me.

My times are in Your hands;
Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me.

Let the lying lips be made still, especially those who speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt.

How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who [reverently] fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of man!

O love the Lord, all you His godly ones!
The Lord preserves the faithful [those with moral and spiritual integrity]
And fully repays the [self-righteousness of the] arrogant.

Be strong and let your hearts take courage,
All you who wait for and confidently expect the Lord.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, favored by God] is he whose transgression is forgiven,
And whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute wickedness,
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You [for forgiveness] in a time when You [are near and] may be found;
Surely when the great waters [of trial and distressing times] overflow they will not reach [the spirit in] him.

You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.)

Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous [who actively seek right standing with Him];
Shout for joy, all you upright in heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright [in heart—those with moral integrity and godly character].

Who loveth righteousness and justice, With the lovingkindness of Yahweh, the earth is full.

Who gathered as into a skin-bottle the waters of the sea, Delivering, into treasuries, the roaring deeps.

Let the whole earth fear the Lord! Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

He who fashions the hearts of them all,
Who considers and understands all that they do.

A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
On those who hope [confidently] in His compassion and lovingkindness,

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.

{A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Those who look to him for help are happy; their faces are not ashamed.

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience],
And He rescues [each of] them.

O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him.

O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones);
For to those who fear Him there is no want.

The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry,
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Who is the man who desires life
And loves many days, that he may see good?

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The LORD hears those who cry out, and he delivers them from all their distress.

The Lord is near to the heartbroken
And He saves those who are crushed in spirit (contrite in heart, truly sorry for their sin).

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

Evil will cause the death of the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be held guilty and will be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.

Draw also the spear and javelin to meet those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and humiliated who plot evil against me.

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,
Who rescues the afflicted from him who is too strong for him [to resist alone],
And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”

I behaved as if grieving for my friend or my brother;
I bowed down in mourning, as one who sorrows for his mother.

But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together. They gathered together against me attackers whom I did not know. They tore me apart and would not stop.

With the flatterers were busy mockers, who gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously].

For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me;
Let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

For you are the one who gives and sustains life.

O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart.

There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. Davidic

Do not worry because of evildoers,
Nor be envious toward wrongdoers;

Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;
Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slaughter those who are upright in conduct [those with personal integrity and godly character].

Better is the little of the righteous [who seek the will of God]
Than the abundance (riches) of many wicked (godless).

Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future.

But the salvation of the righteous cometh of the LORD, who is also their strength in the time of trouble.

Those who seek my life try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,
In whose mouth are no arguments.

For I pray, “May they not rejoice over me,
Who, when my foot slips, would boast against me.”

But my [numerous] enemies are vigorous and strong,
And those who hate me without cause are many.

And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

“Surely every man walks around like a shadow [in a charade];
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
Each one builds up riches, not knowing who will receive them.

“I am mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who has done it.

Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who makes the Lord his trust,
And does not regard the proud nor those who lapse into lies.

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.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated together
Who seek my life to destroy it;
Let those be turned back [in defeat] and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.
