For You are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil cannot dwell with You.

The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;
You hate all evildoers.

I crush them, and they cannot get up;
they fall beneath my feet.

I can count all my bones;
people look and stare at me.

All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down;
all those who go down to the dust
will kneel before Him—
even the one who cannot preserve his life.

There the evildoers fall;
they have been thrown down and cannot rise.

Go around Zion, encircle it;
count its towers,

Yet these cannot redeem a person
or pay his ransom to God—

My mouth will tell about Your righteousness
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.

You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.

For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,
rich in faithful love to all who call on You.

You have distanced my friends from me;
You have made me repulsive to them.
I am shut in and cannot go out.

The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty;
The Lord is robed, enveloped in strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.

Say among the nations: “The Lord reigns.
The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.
He judges the peoples fairly.”

I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbor;
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.

You set a boundary they cannot cross;
they will never cover the earth again.

They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.

They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk.
They cannot make a sound with their throats.

A song of ascents.Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion.
It cannot be shaken; it remains forever.

They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.

They have ears but cannot hear;
indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.

Do not trust in nobles,
in man, who cannot save.
