Lord, lead me in Your righteousness
because of my adversaries;
make Your way straight before me.

When my enemies retreat,
they stumble and perish before You.

You have made my enemies retreat before me;
I annihilate those who hate me.

I pulverize them like dust before the wind;
I trample them like mud in the streets.

I will give praise in the great congregation
because of You;
I will fulfill my vows
before those who fear You.

All the ends of the earth will remember
and turn to the Lord.

will bow down before You,

will kneel before Him—
even the one who cannot preserve his life.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

For Your faithful love is before my eyes,
and I live by Your truth.

Let the whole earth tremble before the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

For the choir director. A psalm of David, the Lord’s servant.An oracle within my heart
concerning the transgression of the wicked person:
There is no dread of God before his eyes,

Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him;
do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
by the man who carries out evil plans.

Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”

I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I come and appear before God?

My disgrace is before me all day long,
and shame has covered my face,

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

You have done these things, and I kept silent;
you thought I was just like you.
But I will rebuke you
and lay out the case before you.

For I am conscious of my rebellion,
and my sin is always before me.

For You delivered me from death,
even my feet from stumbling,
to walk before God in the light of life.

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—
whether green or burning—
He will sweep them away.

You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers.Selah

they rejoice before God and celebrate with joy.

Sing to God! Sing praises to His name.
Exalt Him who rides on the clouds —
His name is Yahweh—and rejoice before Him.

and his enemies lick the dust.

When You are angry,
who can stand before You?

while the food was still in their mouths,

He drove out nations before them.

and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

“Where is their God?”
Before our eyes,

be known among the nations.

like straw before the wind.

each appears before God in Zion.

will come and bow down before You, Lord,
and will honor Your name.

before a single one of them began.

the raising of my hands as the evening offering.

I pour out my complaint before Him;
I reveal my trouble to Him.

I spread out my hands to You;
I am like parched land before You.Selah
