Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

For the music director; written by the Lord's servant, David; an oracle. An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;
Your judgments, like the deepest sea.
Lord, You preserve man and beast.

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

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Take delight in the Lord,
and He will give you your heart’s desires.

So will he bring forth, as the light, thy righteousness, and thy vindication as the noonday.

Be silent in the LORD's presence and wait patiently for him. Don't be angry because of the one whose way prospers or the one who implements evil schemes.

Jehovah shall laugh at him: for he saw that his day will come.

But the wicked will perish;
the Lord’s enemies, like the glory of the pastures,
will fade away—
they will fade away like smoke.

A man's goings are established of Jehovah; And he delighteth in his way.

I have been young, and now am old; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.

Turn aside from evil and do good and [so] abide forever.

For Jehovah love's judgment, and he will not forsake his godly ones; forever they were watched, and the seed of the unjust was cut off.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I saw the unjust one making afraid, and spreading abroad as a green native tree.

Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each is peace.

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!

I am brought into so great trouble and misery, that I go mourning all the day long.

I am weak and utterly crushed; I cry out in distress because of my heart's anguish.

O Lord, you understand my heart's desire; my groaning is not hidden from you.

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.

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.

And [so] I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.

So I confess my guilt;
I am anxious because of my sin.

Don't forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be so distant from me.

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Davidic psalm.I said, “I will guard my ways
so that I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth with a muzzle
as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”

And [so] he brought me up from [the] roaring pit, from the miry clay. And he put my feet upon a rock; he made my steps steady.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

Then I said, “See, I have come;
it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly;
see, I do not keep my mouth closed—
as You know, Lord.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever].
Amen and Amen (so be it).

{To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I enter and see the face of God?

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

My soul is crushed down in me, so I will keep you in mind; from the land of Jordan and of the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

For You are the God of my refuge.
Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?

Send forth your light and your truth so they may guide me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain and to your dwelling places.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

You are my king, O God! Decree Jacob's deliverance!

You have caused us to pull back from [the] enemy, and [so] those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

would not God discover it, for he knows one's thoughts?

Rise up! Come be our help,
And ransom us for the sake of Your steadfast love.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; a song of the Beloved.} My heart is welling forth with a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are the most handsome of Adam's descendants; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

The king's daughters are among your honorable women; the queen, dressed in gold from Ophir, has taken her place at your right hand."

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

Your children will take the place of your fathers; so that you may make them rulers over all the earth.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

when its waves crash and foam, and the mountains shake before the surging sea. (Selah)

The river's channels bring joy to the city of God, the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One.

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

God has ascended his throne amid loud shouts; the Lord has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram's horns.

[The] princes of [the] peoples are gathered together [with] the people of Abraham's God. For [the] shields of [the] earth belong to God. He is very exalted.

For see, the kings assembled; they advanced together.

They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.

Thou shalt break the ships of the sea, through the east wind.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

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

Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

My mouth speaks wisdom;
my heart’s meditation brings understanding.

So costly, is the redemption of their soul, That it faileth unto times age-abiding;

That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

Like sheep, they are destined for the realm of the dead, with death as their shepherd. The upright will have dominion over them in the morning; their strength will be consumed in the afterlife, so that they have no home.

although he considers himself blessed while he's alive. Though people praise you for doing well,

He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people.

For all the beasts of the forest are mine, and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

If I shall hunger I shall not say to thee; for to me the habitable globe, and its fulness.

And call upon me in the time of trouble; so will I hear thee, and thou shalt praise me."

“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him and condone his behavior,
And you associate with adulterers.

Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.

When you did these things, I was silent, so you thought I was exactly like you. But now I will condemn you and state my case against you!
