He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.

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

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have relieved me in my distress;
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.

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

But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

Hold them guilty, O God;
By their own devices let them fall!
In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out,
For they are rebellious against You.

But let all who take refuge in You be glad,
Let them ever sing for joy;
And may You shelter them,
That those who love Your name may exult in You.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am pining away;
Heal me, O Lord, for my bones are dismayed.

All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;
They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.

If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword;
He has bent His bow and made it ready.

I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;

Be gracious to me, O Lord;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.

In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.”

He crouches, he bows down,
And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.

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.

For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the Lord restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.

He does not put out his money at interest,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.

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 set the Lord continually before me;
Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

You have tried my heart;
You have visited me by night;
You have tested me and You find nothing;
I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.

As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips
I have kept from the paths of the violent.

As for me, I shall behold Your face in righteousness;
I will be satisfied with Your likeness when I awake.

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

Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

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

He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock;
And exalted be the God of my salvation,

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.

Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, in Your strength the king will be glad,
And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice!

For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness of the Most High he will not be shaken.

Be exalted, O Lord, in Your strength;
We will sing and praise Your power.

O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but I have no rest.

But I am a worm and not a man,
A reproach of men and despised by the people.

Be not far from me, for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

But You, O Lord, be not far off;
O You my help, hasten to my assistance.

From You comes my praise in the great assembly;
I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.

The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!

All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

Posterity will serve Him;
It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.

They will come and will declare His righteousness
To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!

O my God, in You I trust,
Do not let me be ashamed;
Do not let my enemies exult over me.

Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,
For I am lonely and afflicted.

Guard my soul and deliver me;
Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You.

But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;
Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

Though a host encamp against me,
My heart will not fear;
Though war arise against me,
In spite of this I shall be confident.

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

Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice,
And be gracious to me and answer me.

Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Blessed be the Lord,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;
Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will never be moved.”

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

“Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me;
O Lord, be my helper.”

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
Let me never be ashamed;
In Your righteousness deliver me.

Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly;
Be to me a rock of strength,
A stronghold to save me.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.

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.

Let the lying lips be mute,
Which speak arrogantly against the righteous
With pride and contempt.

Blessed be the Lord,
For He has made marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged city.

Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the Lord.

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.

Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.

A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.

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

A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.

Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

Let them be like chaff before the wind,
With the angel of the Lord driving them on.

Let their way be dark and slippery,
With the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

You have seen it, O Lord, do not keep silent;
O Lord, do not be far from me.

Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication;
And let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified,
Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

A Psalm of David.
Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.

For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.

Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.
