For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

LORD has heard my supplication. LORD will receive my prayer.

God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.

If a man does not repent, he will whet his sword. He has bent his bow, and made it ready.

He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.

Behold [the wicked man], he travails with iniquity. Yea, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

but LORD will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,

LORD has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.

I will sing to LORD because he has dealt bountifully with me.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

I will bless LORD, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.

Therefore LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has held me up, and thy gentleness has made me great.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun,

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

Blessed be LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.

Blessed be LORD, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

Blessed is the nation whose God is LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

Our soul has waited for LORD. He is our help and our shield.

Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yea, let them say continually, LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise [and] to do good.

Better is a little that the righteous man has than the abundance of many wicked men.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in LORD.

for innumerable evils have encompassed me around. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has failed me.

Yea, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

All the day long my dishonor is before me, and the shame of my face has covered me,

All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee, nor have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Thou are fairer than the sons of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

Thou have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

Come, behold the works of LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.

God has gone up with a shout, LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

God has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.

The Mighty One, God, LORD, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shone forth.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.

Every one of them has gone back. They have together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against thee. Thou have put them to shame because God has rejected them.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble, and my eye has seen [it] upon my enemies.

Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many by me.

He has put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.

as a snail which melts and passes away, [as] the untimely birth of a woman, that has not seen the sun.

God has spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

God has spoken once, twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Come, and hear, all ye who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

But truly God has heard. He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.

The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.

Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God has desired for his abode? Yea, LORD will dwell [in it] forever.

Thy God has commanded thy strength. Strengthen, O God, that which thou have wrought for us.

Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver. He has scattered the peoples that delight in war.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me.

Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

and it will please LORD better than an ox, [or] a bullock that has horns and hoofs.

saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver.

For he will deliver a needy man when he cries, and a poor man, who has no helper.

Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.

Has his loving kindness entirely gone forever? Does his promise fail for evermore?

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

Yea, the sparrow has found her a house, and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.

Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.

I am reckoned with those who go down into the pit. I am as a man who has no help,

Thy fierce wrath has gone over me. Thy terrors have cut me off.

All who pass by the way rob him. He has become a reproach to his neighbors.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evil-doers who rise up against me.

LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty. LORD is clothed with strength; he has girded himself with it. The world also is established that it cannot be moved.

But LORD has been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.

And he has brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. LORD our God will cut them off.

O sing to LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him.

LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Know ye that LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

He who slanders his neighbor secretly, him I will destroy. He who has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

Thou will arise, and have mercy upon Zion, for it is time to have pity upon her, yea, the set time has come.

For LORD has built up Zion. He has appeared in his glory.

He has regarded the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven LORD beheld the earth,

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

The trees of LORD are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,

Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
