Day and night they will surround it upon its walls: and vanity and trouble in her midst

Covetings are in her midst; oppression and guile will not depart from her streets.

If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him.

Who together made sweet the intercourse, we will go into the house of God with the multitude.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me, even though they greatly outnumber me.

God will hear and answer them, [he] who [is] enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

{To the chanter, upon the domme stock dove, which flyeth far off: Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath} Be merciful unto me, O God, for men will tread me down: they are daily fighting and troubling me.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

All the day they will grieve my words: against me all their purposes for evil

They will sojourn, they will hide, they will watch my heels as they waited for my soul

Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down [the] peoples, O God.

Then my enemies will turn back {when} I call. This I know because God [is] for me.

In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.} Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

He will send from heaven and save me; he will reproach [the] one who tramples me. Selah God will send his loyal love and his faithfulness.

They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah)

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

To the Chief Musician. Do not destroy. A secret treasure of David. Will you indeed speak righteousness in silence? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

Also in heart ye will work evil; in the earth ye will roll the violence of your hands.

Wrath to them according to the likeness of the wrath of a serpent: as the deaf adder will stop its ear;

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

They will vanish like water that flows by;
they will aim their useless arrows.

Like a slug that moves along in slime,
like a woman’s miscarried child,
they will not see the sun.

Before your pots can feel [the heat of] a thornbush, whether green [or] {dry}, he will sweep it away.

[The] righteous will rejoice when he sees [the] vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

And people will say, "Surely [there is] a {reward} for the righteous. Surely there is a God [who] judges in the land."

Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:

For behold, they lay in wait for my soul: the strong will gather against me; not my transgression and not my sin, O Jehovah.

Not iniquity, they will run and they will prepare: be aroused to meet me, and see.

And thou Jehovah God of armies, God of Israel, awake to review all the nations: thou wilt not compassionate all covering iniquity. Silence.

They will turn back at evening: they will make a noise as a dog, and they will surround the city.

Look, they spew from their mouths—
sharp words from their lips.
“For who,” they say, “will hear?”

But you, O Yahweh, will laugh at them; you will mock all [the] nations.

Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence.

My God of loyal love will meet me; God will cause me to look [in triumph] on my enemies.

Do not kill them; otherwise, my people will forget.
By Your power, make them homeless wanderers
and bring them down,
Lord, our shield.

The sin of their mouth is the word on their lips. They will be caught in their own conceit; for they speak curses and lies.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

They shall turn back at evening; they shall make a noise as a dog, and they will surround the city.

They shall wander to and fro to eat, though they shall not be satisfied; and they will pass the night

But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.

O God, thou hast rejected us - hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?

God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

Through God we will do {valiantly}, and [it is] he [who] will tread down our enemies.

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress -- I will never be greatly shaken.

How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

Their device is only how to put him out, whom God will exalt; their delight is in lies. They give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart. Selah.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

And to you [belongs] loyal love, O Lord, because you will render to each according to his work.

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Because your loyal love [is] better than life, my lips will praise you.

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul will be satisfied [as with the] best and richest [food], and [with] joyful lips my mouth will praise.

When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

But as for them [who] seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth.

They [who] would {deliver him to the sword} will become a portion for jackals.

However, the king will rejoice in God. Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast, because [the] mouth of [the] liars will be stopped.

Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.

Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

To shoot down the blameless one in secret things: suddenly they will shoot, and they will not be afraid.

They encourage themselves [in the] evil matter. They talk of secretly laying snares. They say, "Who will see them?"

They will search out iniquities; they completed a search searched out: and a man drew near, and a deep heart.

But God will shoot them; with an arrow they will suddenly be wounded.

And they [who] would cause him to stumble, their [own] tongue [will be] against them. All who gaze on them will shake.

And then all men will fear, and will declare the working of God, and will understand his doing.

[The] righteous will rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in him, and all [the] upright in heart will boast.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.Praise is rightfully Yours,
God, in Zion;
vows to You will be fulfilled.

O [you who] hear prayer, to you all flesh will come.

Iniquities prevail over me. As for our transgressions, you will {forgive} them.

Blessed [is one whom] you choose and bring near, [that] he may abide in your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

And they shall be afraid, those dwelling in the ends, from thy signs: the goings forth of the morning and evening thou wilt cause to rejoice.

Thou reviewedst the earth, and thou wilt water it: thou wilt greatly enrich it; the stream of God being full of waters: thou wilt prepare their grain, for so thou wilt prepare it.

Thou givest its furrows to drink to the full: thou wilt cause its incisions to flow down in showers: thou wilt bless its springing up.

Say to God, "How awesome are your works! Because of the greatness of your strength, your enemies will cringe before you.
