They consult only to throw him down from his high position [to dishonor him];
They delight in lies.
They bless with [the words of] their mouths,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.

He only is my strength, my salvation, my defense: so that I shall not fall.

Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Men are nothing but a mere breath; human beings are unreliable. When they are weighed in the scales, all of them together are lighter than air.

God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

and that thou, LORD, art merciful; for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

A Davidic psalm. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.
I thirst for You;
my body faints for You
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

Thus do I look for thee in thy Sanctuary, that I might behold thy power and glory.

Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

But God shall suddenly shoot with a swift arrow, that they shall be wounded.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

Then all men will fear [God’s judgment];
They will declare the work of God,
And they will consider and wisely acknowledge what He has done.

The righteous shall rejoice in the LORD, and put his trust in him; and all they that are true of heart, shall be glad.

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.

Blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be filled with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence].
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

You take care of the earth, you water it, and you enrich it greatly with the river of God that overflows with water. You provide grain for them, for you have ordained it this way.

You fill the furrows of the field with water so that their ridges overflow. You soften them with rain showers; their sprouts you have blessed.

The folds shall be full of sheep; the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

“All the earth will [bow down to] worship You [in submissive wonder],
And will sing praises to You;
They will praise Your name in song.” Selah.

He turned the sea into dry land, so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.

Who rules by His might forever,
His eyes keep watch on the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

that my lips uttered and that my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat lambs,
With the [sweet] smoke of rams;
I will offer bulls with male goats. Selah.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

God be gracious and kind-hearted to us and bless us,
And make His face shine [with favor] on us— Selah.

That Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation and deliverance among all nations.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
For You will judge the people fairly
And guide the nations on earth. Selah.

May God truly bless us so that all the nations of the earth will fear him. To the Director of music: A Psalm. A song.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

O God, when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.

Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.

Though ye have lain among the sheep-folds, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove that is covered with silver wings, and her feathers like gold.

Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell there for ever.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day,
The God who is our salvation! Selah.

He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.

Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

That your foot may crush them in blood,
That the tongue of your dogs may have its share from your enemies.”

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

God has decreed that you will be powerful. O God, you who have acted on our behalf, demonstrate your power,

Sound your battle cry against the wild beast of the reeds, and the nations that assemble like a herd of calves led by bulls! They humble themselves and offer gold and silver as tribute. God scatters the nations that like to do battle.

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,
Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully;
I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, 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.

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

May their dining table become a trap before them! May it be a snare for that group of friends!

May their eyes be dimmed so that they cannot see,
And make their loins shake continually [in terror and weakness].

Let me praise the name of God with a song that I may magnify him with thanksgiving.

And it will please the Lord better than an ox
Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Let heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and humiliated
Who delight in my hurt.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

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

For thou, O LORD God, art the thing that I long for; thou art my hope even from my youth.

Upon You have I relied and been sustained from my birth;
You are He who took me from my mother’s womb and You have been my benefactor from that day.
My praise is continually of You.

I have become an example to many that you are my strong refuge.

O let my mouth be filled with thy praise, that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,

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

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is 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?

God, who can compare to you, who caused me to experience troubles that were numerous and disastrous? You will return to revive me and lift me up from the depths of the earth.

You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,

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.

Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations.

He will descend like rain on the mown grass, like showers that drench the earth.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

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

And this is the cause that they be so puffed up in pride, and overwhelmed with cruelty and unrighteousness.

Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

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

When I reasoned, that I might understand this, A vexation, it was in mine eyes:

You put their feet where there was danger of slipping, so that they go down into destruction.

As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.

Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Remember your congregation [that] you bought long ago, [when] you redeemed the tribe of your inheritance. [Remember] {Mount Zion} where you have dwelt.
