Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou - answer me!

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

The humbled have seen - they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive;

Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, - Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And of Your [deeds of] salvation all day long,
For their number is more than I know.

I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto this generation, thy might to every one that is to come.

Therefore they have more than enough food to eat, and even suck up the water of the sea.

Then they say, "How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?"

Surely then in vain I have cleansed my heart
And washed my hands in innocence.

Wherefore should I be then punished daily, and be chastened every morning?"

Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children.

Then thought I to understand this; but it was too hard for me,

Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

Then I was brutish and knew nothing; I was as a beast with thee.

You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor.

{Maschil of Asaph.} O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

And now all the carved work [of the meeting place]
They smash with hatchets and hammers.

The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

When I remember God, then I am disturbed;
When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah.

Then remembered I the times of old, and the years that were past.

Then said I, This is my weakness: the years of the right hand of the Most High

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

a generation whose heart was not loyal
and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then He led them with the cloud by day
And all the night with a light of fire.

Then they spoke against God;
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;
then fire broke out against Jacob,
and anger flared up against Israel

Man ate the food of the mighty ones. He sent them more than enough to eat.

He let loose an east wind in the heavens, Then guided he, in his might, a south wind;

Then he rained meat on them like dust, even winged birds like [the] sand of [the] seas.

Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
Round about their dwellings.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

Then they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God was their deliverer.

So then he remembered, That, Flesh, they were, A Wind departing, that returneth not.

Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them like a herd in the wilderness.

Then brought he them within his own holy bounds, The mountain-range, which his right hand made his own:

Then he sent his might into captivity and his glory into the control of the adversary.

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

Then he chose his servant David, whom he took from the sheepfold.

{A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

Pour out thine indignation upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

Help us, O God of our salvation, on account of the glory of thy Name, - Rescue us then, and put a propitiatory-covering over our sins, For the sake of thy Name.

Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;

So we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture,
Will give You thanks forever;
We will declare and publish Your praise from generation to generation.

Reveal your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, then come to our rescue.

O God, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

O God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy righthand, and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong for thine own self.

Then we shall not turn back from You;
Revive us and we will call on Your name.

God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor. Then we'll be delivered. For the Director: On the Gittith. By Asaph.

“Then I would quickly subdue and humble their enemies
And turn My hand against their adversaries;

Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him and cringe before Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.

Then would he feed them from the marrow of the wheat, Yea, out of the rock - with honey, would I satisfy thee.

Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth, for thou shalt take all heathen to thine inheritance.

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

They say, "Come on, let's annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more."

Then they will know that you alone whose name is LORD are the Most High over all the earth. To the Director: On the Gittith. A Psalm by the descendants of Korah.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.

Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you!

Certainly his loyal followers will soon experience his deliverance; then his splendor will again appear in our land.

{A Prayer of David.} Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

O Lord, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you!

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O Lord, will help me and comfort me.

Upon me, hath rested thine indignation, And, with all thy breakers, hast thou caused affliction. Selah.

Shall any wonder of thine, be known in the dark? Or, thy righteousness, in the land of forgetfulness?

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

Thine is the arm of might: strong is thy hand, high is thy right hand.

For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
