Let me announce the decree of the LORD that he told me: "You are my son, today I have become your father.

Kiss the son before he becomes angry, and you die where you stand. Indeed, his wrath can flare up quickly. How blessed are those who take refuge in him. A Davidic Psalm, when he fled from his son Absalom.

All have turned away, together they have become corrupt; no one practices what is good, not even one.

To you, LORD, I cry out! My Rock, do not refuse to answer me. If you remain silent, I will become like those who descend into the Pit.

Listen to me, and deliver me quickly. Become a rock of safety for me, a fortified citadel to deliver me;

I have become an object of reproach to all my enemies, especially to my neighbors. I have become an object of fear to my friends, and whoever sees me outside runs away from me.

Indeed, I have become like a man who hears nothing, and in whose mouth there is no rebuke.

All of them have fallen away; together they have become corrupt; no one does what is good, not even one.

May they flow away like rain water that runs off, may they become like someone who shoots broken arrows.

They scavenge for food. If they find nothing, they become hungry and growl.

God, you have cast us off; you have breached our defenses and you have become enraged. Return to us!

Don't trust in oppression or put false hope in stealing; if you become wealthy, do not set your heart on it.

May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals.

May their dining tables entrap them, and become a snare for their allies.

May their camp become desolate and their tents remain unoccupied.

I have become an example to many that you are my strong refuge.

How desolate they quickly become, completely destroyed by calamities.

Your thunderous sound was in a whirlwind; your lightning lights up the world; the earth becomes agitated and quakes.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and a derision to those around us.

All who pass by on their way plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors.

Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?

If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.

When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.

They will perish, but you will remain; and they all will become worn out, like a garment. You will change them like clothing, and they will pass away.

You bring darkness and it becomes night; when every beast of the forest prowls.

May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.

I have become an object of derision to them they shake their heads whenever they see me.

Those who craft them will become like them, as will all those who trust in them.

The LORD is my strength and protector, for he has become my deliverer.

I will praise you because you have answered me and have become my deliverer.

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

May the arrogant become ashamed, because they have subverted me with deceit; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.

May my heart be blameless with respect to your statutes so that I may not become ashamed. Kaf

Though I have become like a water skin dried by smoke, I have not forgotten your statutes.

He will never let your foot slip, nor will your guardian become drowsy.

May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root

Those who craft them and all who trust in them will become like them.

If I say, "Darkness will surely conceal me, and the light around me will become night,"

Let not the slanderer become established in the land. May evil quickly hunt down the violent man.

Answer me quickly, LORD; my spirit is failing. Do not hide your face from me; otherwise, I will become like those who descend to the Pit,

Gracious and merciful is the LORD, slow to become angry, and overflowing with gracious love.
