Give answer to my cry, O God of my righteousness; make me free from my troubles; have mercy on me, and give ear to my prayer.

There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

Let the voice of my cry come to you, my King and my God; for to you will I make my prayer.

For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.

O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.

God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld.

The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.

Let my voice come before you, and give me an answer, O Lord my God; let your light be shining on me, so that the sleep of death may not overtake me;

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

The Lord was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

They have all gone out of the way together; they are unclean, there is not one who does good, no, not one.

Then were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the upright.

Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.

The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not been turned away in sin from my God.

You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.

By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in; by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

As for God, his way is completely good; the word of the Lord is tested; he is a breastplate for all those who put their faith in him.

For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?

God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.

By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured.

It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

The heavens are sounding the glory of God; the arch of the sky makes clear the work of his hands.

The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.

Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

Be my guide and teacher in the true way; for you are the God of my salvation; I am waiting for your word all the day.

Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

All the ways of the Lord are mercy and good faith for those who keep his agreement and his witness.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

Give Israel salvation, O God, out of all his troubles.

For your mercy is before my eyes; and I have gone in the way of your good faith.

Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.

But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.

And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he has taken for his heritage.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.

False witnesses got up: they put questions to me about crimes of which I had no knowledge.

They gave me back evil for good, troubling my soul.

For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.

Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.

Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.

For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

The law of his God is in his heart; he will never make a false step.

Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.

Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?

My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?
