A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
O Lord, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.

Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?”
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord!

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries,
And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.

Be gracious to me, O Lord;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,

Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up Your hand.
Do not forget the afflicted.

Do all the workers of wickedness not know,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon the Lord?

He does not slander with his tongue,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

Wondrously show Your lovingkindness,
O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand
From those who rise up against them.

Smoke went up out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth devoured;
Coals were kindled by it.

For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

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

He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.

We will sing for joy over your victory,
And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.

You will make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger;
The Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,
And fire will devour them.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You lay me in the dust of death.

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

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
But the Lord will take me up.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,
When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.
I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

How great is Your goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You,
Before the sons of men!

He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

Take hold of buckler and shield
And rise up for my help.

Malicious witnesses rise up;
They ask me of things that I do not know.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, our desire!”
Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.

“A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

Even my close friend in whom I trusted,
Who ate my bread,
Has lifted up his heel against me.

But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up,
That I may repay them.

Through You we will push back our adversaries;
Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

Rise up, be our help,
And redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.

But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

Have the workers of wickedness no knowledge,
Who eat up My people as though they ate bread
And have not called upon God?

They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts,
Whose name is the Lord, and exult before Him.

May the flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.

You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
Will revive me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place;
They have set up their own standards for signs.

It seems as if one had lifted up
His axe in a forest of trees.

You broke open springs and torrents;
You dried up ever-flowing streams.

“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;

Do not lift up your horn on high,
Do not speak with insolent pride.’”

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.

He divided the sea and caused them to pass through,
And He made the waters stand up like a heap.

And gave up His strength to captivity
And His glory into the hand of the adversary.

His priests fell by the sword,
And His widows could not weep.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power
And come to save us!

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

“But My people did not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not obey Me.

They have said, “Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation,
That the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Make glad the soul of Your servant,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,
And a band of violent men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.

You have removed my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an object of loathing to them;
I am shut up and cannot go out.

For I have said, “Lovingkindness will be built up forever;
In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.”

I will establish your seed forever
And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah.

They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

That when the wicked sprouted up like grass
And all who did iniquity flourished,
It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

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

Rise up, O Judge of the earth,
Render recompense to the proud.

Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

Fire goes before Him
And burns up His adversaries round about.

His lightnings lit up the world;
The earth saw and trembled.

Because of Your indignation and Your wrath,
For You have lifted me up and cast me away.

For the Lord has built up Zion;
He has appeared in His glory.

Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
They lift up their voices among the branches.

You give to them, they gather it up;
You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.

And ate up all vegetation in their land,
And ate up the fruit of their ground.

Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up,
And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And engulfed the company of Abiram.

And a fire blazed up in their company;
The flame consumed the wicked.

Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,
And so the plague was stayed.

For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.

They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.

He will drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will lift up His head.

I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of the Lord.

And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I love;
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

A Song of Ascents.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?

To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord—
An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

A Song of Ascents.
To You I lift up my eyes,
O You who are enthroned in the heavens!

“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,

It is vain for you to rise up early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of painful labors;
For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.

A Song of Ascents.
“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”
Let Israel now say,

“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.

Let them be like grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up;

Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless the Lord.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.

Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
