and free ourselves from their restraints.”

Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.
Drive them out because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against You.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,
and may those who love Your name boast about You.

Let the assembly of peoples gather around You;
take Your seat on high over it.

Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous.
The One who examines the thoughts and emotions
is a righteous God.

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

Put terror in them, Lord;
let the nations know they are only men.Selah

let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.

Let my vindication come from You,
for You see what is right.

Moreover, keep Your servant from willful sins;
do not let them rule over me.
Then I will be innocent
and cleansed from blatant rebellion.

Let us shout for joy at your victory
and lift the banner in the name of our God.
May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

do not let my enemies gloat over me.

Guard me and deliver me;
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.

Wait for the Lord;
be strong and courageous.

at a time that You may be found.

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

Let ruin come on him unexpectedly,
and let the net that he hid ensnare him;

shout for joy and be glad;

“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

They are filled from the abundance of Your house;
You let them drink from Your refreshing stream,

Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near me
or the hand of the wicked one drive me away.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

“Lord, reveal to me the end of my life
and the number of my days.

to Your dwelling place.

But You give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.

Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

My faithful God will come to meet me;
God will let me look down on my adversaries.

For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.

You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but You brought us out to abundance.

for You judge the peoples with fairness
and lead the nations on earth.Selah

be humiliated because of me,
God of Israel.

Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.
Let me be rescued from those who hate me
and from the deep waters.

Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me
or the deep swallow me up;
don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.

Let their table set before them be a snare,
and let it be a trap for their allies.

Let their eyes grow too dim to see,
and let their loins continually shake.

to the Lord your God;
let all who are around Him bring tribute
to the awe-inspiring One.

Do not hold past sins against us;

for we have become weak.

Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”

be known among the nations.

according to Your great power,
preserve those condemned to die.

so that Israel’s name will no longer be remembered.”
