But You, Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the One who lifts up my head.

Rise up, Lord!
Save me, my God!
You strike all my enemies on the cheek;
You break the teeth of the wicked.

Rise up, Lord, in Your anger;
lift Yourself up against the fury of my adversaries;
awake for me;
You have ordained a judgment.

Be gracious to me, Lord;
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.
Lift me up from the gates of death,

Rise up, Lord! Do not let man prevail;
let the nations be judged in Your presence.

Rise up, Lord God! Lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted.

“Because of the oppression of the afflicted
and the groaning of the poor,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord.
“I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.”

How long will I store up anxious concerns within me,
agony in my mind every day?
How long will my enemy dominate me?

Rise up, Lord!
Confront him; bring him down.
With Your sword, save me from the wicked.

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

Foreigners submit to me grudgingly;
as soon as they hear, they obey me.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
making the heart glad;
the command of the Lord is radiant,
making the eyes light up.

and their offspring from the human race.

my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You put me into the dust of death.

Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.

Rise up, ancient doors!

toward Your holy sanctuary.

and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.

Lord, You brought me up from Sheol;
You spared me from among those
going down to the Pit.

How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.

Wake up and rise to my defense,
to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Do not let them say in their hearts,
“Aha! Just what we wanted.”
Do not let them say,
“We have swallowed him up!”

Refrain from anger and give up your rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.

Turn Your angry gaze from me
so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”

He brought me up from a desolate pit,
out of the muddy clay,
and set my feet on a rock,
making my steps secure.

When one of them comes to visit, he speaks deceitfully;
he stores up evil in his heart;
he goes out and talks.

Even my friend in whom I trusted,
one who ate my bread,
has raised his heel against me.

But You, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up;
then I will repay them.

Wake up, Lord! Why are You sleeping?
Get up! Don’t reject us forever!

Rise up! Help us!
Redeem us because of Your faithful love.

and violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for God.Selah

Wake up, harp and lyre!

God has spoken in His sanctuary:
“I will triumph! I will divide up Shechem.
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

exalted men, an illusion.
Weighed in the scales, they go up;
together they are less than a vapor.

at Your name, I will lift up my hands.

Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.

or the deep swallow me up;

and Your salvation all day long,

but You will revive me again.

and afterward You will take me up in glory.

Your adversaries roared in the meeting place
where You met with us.
They set up their emblems as signs.

and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

Do not lift up your horn against heaven
or speak arrogantly.’”

but the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”

lightning lit up the world.
The earth shook and quaked.

and set up a law in Israel,
which He commanded our fathers
to teach to their children

Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;
then fire broke out against Jacob,
and anger flared up against Israel

and He killed some of their best men.
He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

He gave up His strength to captivity
and His splendor to the hand of a foe.

like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed with oil.

The floods have lifted up, Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their pounding waves.

Rise up, Judge of the earth;

Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?

and I will obey it
and follow it with all my heart.

I will lift up my hands to Your commands,
which I love,
and will meditate on Your statutes.

This is my practice:
I obey Your precepts.

The arrogant have smeared me with lies,
but I obey Your precepts with all my heart.

Give me life in accordance with Your faithful love,
and I will obey the decree You have spoken.
