The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

I will tell of the decree. The LORD said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

LORD, how my adversaries have increased. Many are those who rise up against me.

Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no help for him in God." Selah.

But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.

When agitated, do not sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.

Many say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.

You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.

Give ear to my words, LORD. Consider my meditation.

For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

But as for me, in the abundance of your loving kindness I will come into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.

Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongue they are deceitful.

But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice, Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let them also who love your name be joyful in you.

LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness' sake.

Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens.

From the lips of babes and infants you have ordained praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;

You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet:

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.

that I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.

Arise, LORD. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

Put them in fear, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only men. Selah.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

His ways are prosperous at all times. Your judgments are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.

Arise, LORD. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain."

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"

The words of the LORD are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none who does good.

The LORD looked down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who did understand, who did seek after God.

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill?

My soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."

As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.

For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Hear, LORD, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.

Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.

As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.

Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,

They have now surrounded us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

Arise, LORD, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;

from men by your hand, LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill the belly of your cherished ones. Your sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death came on me.

Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.

Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.

Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.

For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,

He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again until they are consumed.

Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

The LORD's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my Rock, and my redeemer.

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah.

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the LORD our God.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

The king rejoices in your strength, LORD. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
