Arise, O LORD. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits [himself] to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindness. For they have been ever of old.

Hide not thy face from me. Put not thy servant away in anger. Thou have been my help. Cast me not off, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as he who bewails his mother.

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen a righteous man forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually say to me, Where is thy God?

My heart overflows with a good matter. I speak the things which I have made concerning the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

When thou saw a thief, thou consented with him, and have been partaker with adulterers.

But I will sing of thy strength. Yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving kindness in the morning. For thou have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress.

O God thou have cast us off. Thou have broken us down. Thou have been angry. O restore us again.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

By thee I have been held up from the womb. Thou are he who took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee.

for all the day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.

LORD, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

But thou have cast off and rejected. Thou have been angry with thine anointed.

LORD, thou have been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Unless LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon dwelt in silence.

But LORD has been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.

LORD has been mindful of us. He will bless, he will bless the house of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes.

Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in my affliction.

If it had not been LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

if it had not been LORD who was on our side when men rose up against us,

For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has smitten my life down to the ground. He has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.
