Not so, the lawless, - but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Many are saying about me, "God will never deliver him!"

But You, O Lord, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.

Be angry, yet do not sin. Think about this when upon your beds, and be silent. Interlude

O Jehovah, the morning thou wilt hear my voice; the morning I will set in order to thee, and I will look about.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,
and may those who love Your name boast about You.

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

I will thank the Lord for His righteousness;
I will sing about the name of Yahweh the Most High.

For the music director; according to the alumoth-labben style; a psalm of David. I will thank the Lord with all my heart! I will tell about all your amazing deeds!

I will rejoice and boast about You;
I will sing about Your name, Most High.

For you have brought about justice for me and my cause; you sit on the throne judging righteously.

Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance."

To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. Refunding music. Selah.

For the wicked one boasts about his own desire; he blesses the greedy and despises the LORD.

His ways prosper at all times;
Your judgments [Lord] are on high, out of his sight [so he never thinks about them];
As for all his enemies, he sneers at them.

The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Yahweh looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who cares about God.

From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the overflowings of ungodliness made me afraid. {TYNDALE: For the waves of death have closed me about, and the floods of Belial have feared me.}

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; thou hast thrown them all down under me, that rose up against me. {TYNDALE: And thou compassedest me about with might to battle, and madest them that rose against me to stoop under me.}

Therefore I will praise You, Yahweh, among the nations;
I will sing about Your name.

It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.

For dogs surrounded me: the assembly of those being evil moved round about me: they digged my hands and my feet

All the prosperous people will eat and bow down in submission. All those who are about to go down to the grave will bow down in submission, along with the one who can no longer keep himself alive.

Our descendants will serve him, and that generation will be told about the Lord.

They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.

Because your loyal love [is] before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

I do not sit with deceitful people, nor will I go about with hypocrites.

I will wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

to give you thanks, and to tell about all your amazing deeds.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
In His tent I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.

For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away by my groaning all day long.

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in and relies on the Lord shall be surrounded with compassion and lovingkindness.

My soul will glorify the LORD; the humble will hear about it and rejoice.

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

False witnesses stepped forward and questioned me concerning things about which I knew nothing.

I paced about as for my friend or my brother, and fell down mourning as one weeps for one's mother.

Then I will tell others about your justice, and praise you all day long.

An oracle that came to me about the transgressions of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

Be quiet before Yahweh and wait for him. Do not fret about one who succeeds [in] his way, about a man making plots.

Yet a little, therefore, and the lawless one shall not be, Yea thou shalt look about, over his place - and he shall have vanished!

I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go about mourning all day long.

My heart moved about rapidly, my strength forsook me, and the light of mine eyes also they not with me.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me; those who seek to do me harm brag all day long about their wicked planning.

For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.

my anxiety intensified. As I thought about it, I became impatient. Finally I spoke these words:

“Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

Blessed is the man that hath set his hope in the LORD, and turned not unto the proud, and to such as go about with lies.

O Lord, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!

Then I said, "Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me.

I have told the great assembly about your justice. Look! I spare no words! O Lord, you know this is true.

I have not failed to tell about your justice; I spoke about your reliability and deliverance; I have not neglected to tell the great assembly about your loyal love and faithfulness.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me;
My sins have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see.
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think about me. You are my help and deliverer. My God, do not tarry too long! To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.

My enemies ask this cruel question about me, 'When will he finally die and be forgotten?'

The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.

All who hate me whisper together about me;
Against me they devise my hurt [imagining the worst for me], saying,

I will say to God, my rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

God, we heard it with our ears; our ancestors told us about what you did in their day a long time ago.

You have made us the reproach and taunt of our neighbors,
A scoffing and a derision to those around us.

We heard about God's mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

Walk about Zion, go all around her;
Count her towers,

Consider its defenses! Walk through its fortresses, so you can tell the next generation about it!

My mouth will speak wisely, and I will understand what I think about.

Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

those who put confidence in their wealth and boast about their great riches?

May our God come and not keep silent;
Fire devours before Him,
And around Him a mighty tempest rages.

Now have the heavens declared his righteousness, Because, God, is, about to judge. Selah.

God says this to the evildoer: "How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?

Then I will teach transgressors about your ways, and sinners will turn to you.

Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, God, God of my salvation. Then my tongue will sing about your righteousness.

Then you will be pleased with right sacrifices, with burnt offerings, and with whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar. To the Director: A Davidic instruction about Doeg, the Edomite, when he went to Saul and told him, "David went to the house of Abimelech."

For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!

The righteous will see it and fear,
And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,

"Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others."

Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,

Day and night they go around her walls;
Wickedness and mischief are in her midst.

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.

For thou deliveredst my soul from death: are not my feet from falling, to go about before God in the light of the living?

They shall melt away as water shall go about to them: he will bend his arrow, they shall be as cut off.

They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

They return at evening, they howl and snarl like dogs,
And go [prowling] around the city.

They wander about for food
And growl if they are not satisfied.

As for me, I will sing about your strength; I will praise your loyal love in the morning. For you are my refuge and my place of shelter when I face trouble.

My Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, God of Gracious Love, are my fortress. To the Director: A special Davidic psalm to the tune of "Lily of The Covenant," for teaching about his battle with Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, when Joab returned and attacked 12,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley.

whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours.

They encourage each other in an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”
