The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

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

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

Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

The words of the Lord are true words: like silver tested by fire and burned clean seven times.

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.

Lord, your house has been dear to me, and the resting-place of your glory.

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

O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.

The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

Your righteousness has not been folded away in my heart; I have made clear your true word and your salvation; I have not kept secret your mercy or your faith from the great meeting.

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.

O my strength, I will put my hope in you; because God is my strong tower.

But I will make songs of your power; yes, I will give cries of joy for your mercy in the morning; because you have been my strength and my high tower in the day of my trouble.

To you, O my strength, will I make my song: because God is my high tower, even the God of my mercy.

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.

I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

May he be a judge of your people in righteousness, and make true decisions for the poor.

Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, the only doer of wonders.

And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

How dear are your tents, O Lord of armies!

For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin.

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

Dear in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.

This is the door of the Lord's house; the workers of righteousness will go in through it.

I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.

Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.

This has been true of me, that I have kept your orders in my heart.

I have kept back my feet from all evil ways, so that I might be true to your word.

Sinners have put a net to take me; but I was true to your orders.

Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.

You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.

Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.

How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
