You hate all who do evil.

A Davidic psalm.Lord, who can dwell in Your tent?
Who can live on Your holy mountain?

My steps have held closely to Your paths;
My feet have not staggered.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and the One who rescues me;
My God, my rock and strength in whom I trust and take refuge;
My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower—my stronghold.

Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.

And by my God I can leap over a wall.

So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

I have not sat with vain persons, neither have I gone in with dissemblers;

I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O Lord,

I have asked the Lord for one thing -- this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.

Listen to me! Quickly deliver me! Be my protector and refuge, a stronghold where I can be safe!

My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.

I am forgotten: gone from memory
like a dead person—like broken pottery.

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

Not a king, can be saved by greatness of force, nor, hero, deliver himself by greatness of strength:

The horse [is] a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.

With all my strength I will say, "O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them."

so that I may be cheered up
before I die and am gone.”

How happy the man, Who hath made Yahweh his confidence, who hath not turned unto the haughty, nor gone aside unto falsehood.

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, so I can pay them back!"

I thirst for God, the living God.

For the ransom of his soul is too costly,
And he should cease trying forever—

For one can see that wise men die;
foolish and stupid men also pass away.
Then they leave their wealth to others.

God says this to the evildoer: "How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?

Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God's salvation to him." For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

consume them until they are gone.
Then people will know throughout the earth
that God rules over Jacob.Selah

You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers.Selah

Iniquities overwhelm me;
only You can atone for our rebellions.

You have allowed men to ride at our head; we have gone through fire and through water, but You have brought us out to plenty.

You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
