It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.

For you bring him rich blessings; you place a golden crown on his head.

You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you.

You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; my cup is completely full.

I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.

You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.

For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)

Evil people self-destruct; those who hate the godly are punished.

I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.

Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction!

Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me! Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes!

You love justice and hate evil. For this reason God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy, elevating you above your companions.

For you hate instruction and reject my words.

Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt!

I say, "I wish I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and settle in a safe place!

Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, or else I could hide from him.

Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.

They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast, "Who will see them?"

If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Rescue me from the mud! Don't let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!

If I had publicized these thoughts, I would have betrayed your loyal followers.

Do not be so certain you have won! Do not speak with your head held so high!

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his faithful followers; he delivers them from the power of the wicked.

He caused them to hate his people, and to mistreat his servants.

He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

He handed the territory of nations over to them, and they took possession of what other peoples had produced,

They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.

In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the desert.

They did not destroy the nations, as the Lord had commanded them to do.

Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin.

because they had rebelled against God's commands, and rejected the instructions of the sovereign king.

They repay me evil for good, and hate for love.

Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.

(Samek) I hate people with divided loyalties, but I love your law.

For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.

I hate and despise deceit; I love your law.

Here's how! With the sharp arrows of warriors, with arrowheads forged over the hot coals.

For too long I have had to reside with those who hate peace.

Show us favor, O Lord, show us favor! For we have had our fill of humiliation, and then some.

We have had our fill of the taunts of the self-assured, of the contempt of the proud.

A song of ascents, by David. "If the Lord had not been on our side" -- let Israel say this! --

if the Lord had not been on our side, when men attacked us,

May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back!

It is like fine oil poured on the head which flows down the beard -- Aaron's beard, and then flows down his garments.

O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you, and despise those who oppose you?

I absolutely hate them, they have become my enemies!

Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah)

O sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

May the godly strike me in love and correct me! May my head not refuse choice oil! Indeed, my prayer is a witness against their evil deeds.
