He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.

O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

See how the Lord has made great his mercy for me; the Lord will give ear to my cry.

My soul is in bitter trouble; and you, O Lord, how long?

So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made

I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.

O Lord, our Lord, whose glory is higher than the heavens, how noble is your name in all the earth!

O Lord, our Lord, how noble is your name in all the earth!

I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.

For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.

But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.

And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.

The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;

When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;

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.

His ways are ever fixed; your decisions are higher than he may see: as for his haters, they are as nothing to him.

He has said in his heart, I will not be moved: through all generations I will never be in trouble.

He is waiting in the dark places of the towns: in the secret places he puts to death those who have done no wrong: his eyes are secretly turned against the poor.

He keeps himself in a secret place like a lion in his hole, waiting to put his hands on the poor man, and pulling him into his net.

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

In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

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

For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.

Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.

How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

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.

Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

And he went in flight through the air, seated on a storm-cloud: going quickly on the wings of the wind.

He made the dark his secret place; his tent round him was the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.

He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

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.

He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.

He makes my hands expert in war, so that a bow of brass is bent by my arms.

They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

He makes me free from my haters; I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

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

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;

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah.)

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.

For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.

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

He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.

See how those who are against me are increased, for bitter is their hate of me.

For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!

May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.

Happy is he who has forgiveness for his wrongdoing, and whose sin is covered.

He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

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

The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;

From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;

He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.

I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

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

The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.

The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.

He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

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 mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

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

So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
