You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.

How long, LORD? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

Remember how short my time is. For what vanity have you created all the children of men.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,

Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

This will be written for the generation to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD.

I said, "My God, do not take me away in the midst of my days. Your years are throughout all generations.

They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

But you are the same. Your years will have no end.

The children of your servants will continue. Their seed will be established before you."

Praise the LORD, my soul. All that is within me, praise his holy name.

Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits;
