Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth even from death.

Singers have been before, Behind are players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels.

Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, ye that are of the fountain of Israel.

Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.

Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel
And His strength is in the skies.

Awesome [are you], O God, from your sanctuary. The God of Israel, [it is] he who gives strength and might to the people. Blessed be God.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David.} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.

My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.

I am weary with my calling [out]; my throat is parched. My eyes are exhausted [in my] waiting for my God.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.

Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.

And thou wilt not hide thy face from thy servant; for straits are to me.: hasten to answer me.

Come near to my soul, for its salvation: be my saviour, because of those who are against me.

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.

Let their table before them become a snare; And when they are in peace, let it become a trap.

Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.

Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.

They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.

The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.

because Yahweh hears [the] needy and does not despise his [own who are] prisoners.

The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who are loyal to him will live in it.

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

Rescue and deliver me, because you are righteous. Turn your ear to me and save me.

Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you.

I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.

My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

Even when I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me.
Then I will proclaim Your power
to another generation,
Your strength to all who are to come.

Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee?

I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.

He will redeem them from oppression and violence,
for their lives are precious in his sight.

The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

Truly, God is good to Israel, even to such as are clean in heart.

The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at their death,

For they have no pain; their bodies are fat and strong.

They are not in trouble as others are; they have no part in the unhappy fate of men.

For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.

Their eyes are bursting with fat; they have more than their heart's desire.

Their thoughts are deep with evil designs; their talk from their seats of power is of cruel acts.

For this reason they are full of bread; and water is ever flowing for them.

Truly, such are the sinners; they do well at all times, and their wealth is increased.

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

For those who are far away from you will come to destruction: you will put an end to all those who have not kept faith with you.

Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

Those who are opposing you roar where we were meeting with you; they unfurl their war banners as signs.

They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.

Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.

We do not see any signs of God's presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?

Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.

We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, and your name is near. Your wonderful deeds are told.

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!

You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

I will keep God in memory, with sounds of grief; my thoughts are troubled, and my spirit is overcome. (Selah.)

My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

O God, your deeds are extraordinary! What god can compare to our great God?

You are the God who does works of power: you have made your strength clear to the nations.

The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God is its spirit.

And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

And He remembereth that they are flesh, A wind going on -- and it returneth not.

{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.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

And we are thy people and the sheep of thy pasture: we will confess to thee forever: to generation and generation we will recount thy praise.

For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!

O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
