“But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

Salvation belongs to the Lord;
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah.

Tremble, and do not sin;
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?”
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord!

There is nothing reliable in what they say;
Their inward part is destruction itself.
Their throat is an open grave;
They flatter with their tongue.

His mischief will return upon his own head,
And his violence will descend upon his own pate.

For, behold, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow upon the string
To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Upon the wicked He will rain snares;
Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.

Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?

The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;
Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.

In my distress I called upon the Lord,
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice out of His temple,
And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

He rode upon a cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the wings of the wind.

For by You I can run upon a troop;
And by my God I can leap over a wall.

He makes my feet like hinds’ feet,
And sets me upon my high places.

His glory is great through Your salvation,
Splendor and majesty You place upon him.

Yet You are holy,
O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

Upon You I was cast from birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

They open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.

For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.

Look upon my affliction and my trouble,
And forgive all my sins.

Look upon my enemies, for they are many,
And they hate me with violent hatred.

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.

Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.

Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon You;
Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.

Let destruction come upon him unawares,
And let the net which he hid catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.

He plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a path that is not good;
He does not despise evil.

Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

The wicked spies upon the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who have done it.

He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.

The Lord will protect him and keep him alive,
And he shall be called blessed upon the earth;
And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed;
In his illness, You restore him to health.

“A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You,
And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

O Lord, open my lips,
That my mouth may declare Your praise.

God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God.

Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge,
Who eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God?

For He has delivered me from all trouble,
And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.

Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the pressure of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me
And in anger they bear a grudge against me.

My heart is in anguish within me,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

Fear and trembling come upon me,
And horror has overwhelmed me.

Day and night they go around her upon her walls,
And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.

Let death come deceitfully upon them;
Let them go down alive to Sheol,
For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

As for me, I shall call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

For the choir director; according to Jonath elem rehokim. A Mikhtam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled upon me;
Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

My foes have trampled upon me all day long,
For they are many who fight proudly against me.

Your vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You.

He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah.
God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

My God in His lovingkindness will meet me;
God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes.

You have made the land quake, You have split it open;
Heal its breaches, for it totters.

Do not trust in oppression
And do not vainly hope in robbery;
If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

You brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times;
Behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice.

May he come down like rain upon the mown grass,
Like showers that water the earth.

You broke open springs and torrents;
You dried up ever-flowing streams.

You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

He rained down manna upon them to eat
And gave them food from heaven.

When He rained meat upon them like the dust,
Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,

He sent upon them His burning anger,
Fury and indignation and trouble,
A band of destroying angels.

Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

O God, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Then we shall not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

O Lord God of hosts, restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Behold our shield, O God,
And look upon the face of Your anointed.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.

In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You,
For You will answer me.

Your wrath has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

My eye has wasted away because of affliction;
I have called upon You every day, O Lord;
I have spread out my hands to You.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us;
And confirm for us the work of our hands;
Yes, confirm the work of our hands.

You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.

With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,
With resounding music upon the lyre.

And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

He has brought back their wickedness upon them
And will destroy them in their evil;
The Lord our God will destroy them.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me.

For He looked down from His holy height;
From heaven the Lord gazed upon the earth,

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;
He makes the clouds His chariot;
He walks upon the wings of the wind;

He established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not totter forever and ever.

You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
