"Let us tear off their bonds, and cast their cords from us!"

Many are saying, "Who will show us [something] good?" Lift up over us the light of your face, O Yahweh.

O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight before me your way.

Treat them as guilty, O God; let them fall because of their plans. Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take shelter in you rejoice. Let them ever sing for joy, {because} you spread protection over them; And let those [who] love your name exult in you.

let the enemy of my soul pursue, and overtake and trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

And let [the] assembly of peoples surround you, and over it return on high.

Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish [the] righteous, and test the hearts and innermost being, O righteous God.

so that I may tell of all your praises. In the gates of the daughter of Zion let me rejoice in your salvation.

Rise up, O Yahweh, let not humans prevail; let [the] nations be judged before you.

O Yahweh, put them in fear. Let [the] nations know they [are merely] human. Selah

In arrogance [the] wicked persecutes [the] poor. Let them be caught in [the] schemes that they devised,

Consider [and] answer me, O Yahweh my God. Give light to my eyes lest I sleep [the sleep of] death,

Yahweh [is] the portion [which is] my share and my cup. You hold my lot.

Let my vindication come forth from you; let your eyes see fairness.

For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness.

Also, keep back your servant from arrogant [sins]; let them not rule over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your presence, O Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

Rescue, O Yahweh. Let the king answer us when we call.

"{He trusts Yahweh}. Let him rescue him. Let him deliver him because he delights in him."

O my God, I trust you; let me not be put to shame. Do not let my enemies exult over me.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Teach me, O Yahweh, your way, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong and let your heart show strength, and wait for Yahweh.

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge. Let me not be put to shame ever. Deliver me by your righteousness.

For you [are] my rock and my fortress. So, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

Let lying lips be dumb, that speak against [the] righteous unrestrained with arrogance and contempt.

Be strong and let your heart show strength, all [you] who wait for Yahweh.

Therefore let all [the] faithful pray to you at [the] time [for] finding [you]. Surely at [the] flood of many waters they will not reach him.

Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all [the] inhabitants of [the] world stand in awe of him.

Let your loyal love, O Yahweh, be upon us, {even as} we hope in you.

My soul makes its boast in Yahweh; let the humble hear and be glad.

Magnify Yahweh with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

Let them be like chaff before [the] wind, with the angel of Yahweh {driving them}.

Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

Let {unforeseen ruin} come on him, and his net that he hid, let it catch him. Let him fall into it in ruin.

Let not those who [are] wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me. [Nor let] those who hate me without cause wink [the] eye.

Vindicate me according to your righteousness, O Yahweh my God, and do not let them rejoice over me.

Do not let them say in their hearts, "Aha, our desire." Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether, who rejoice at my misfortune. Let them put on shame and insult, who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, "Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant."

For with you is [the] fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Do not let a foot of pride come against me, nor let a wicked hand make me to wander homeless.

Then he will bring forth your righteousness like the light, and your justice like the noonday.

Yahweh will not abandon him into his hand, and he will not let him be condemned when he is judged.

My heart throbs violently, my strength leaves me; and the light of my eyes, that also is not with me.

"Let me know, O Yahweh, my end, and what is the measure of my days. Let me know how transient I [am]."

As for you, O Yahweh, do not withhold your mercies from me. Let your loyal love and your faithfulness continually preserve me.

Let them be shamed and abashed altogether who seek to take away my life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated [who] desire my harm.

Let them be appalled because of their shame, those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"

Let them rejoice and be glad in you, all those who seek you. Let them say continually, "Yahweh is great!" --those who love your salvation.

But I [am] poor and needy. Let my Lord consider me. You [are] my help and my deliverer. O my God, do not delay.

These I remember and I pour out my soul within me: that I would go with the multitude; I led them [in procession] to the house of God, with a voice of rejoicing and thanksgiving, a crowd celebrating a festival.

Send your light and your truth; they shall lead me. They shall bring me to {your holy mountain} and to your dwelling places.

You [with] your hand drove out the nations, but them you planted. You harmed [the] peoples, but them you let spread out.

For not with their sword did they possess [the] land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather [it was] your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.

And [in] your majesty {ride victoriously}, because of truth and humility [and] righteousness. And let your right hand teach you awesome deeds.

Let the king desire your beauty. Because he [is] your lord, therefore bow down to him.

They are led with joy and gladness. They enter [the] palace of [the] king.

Make me hear joy and gladness; let [the] bones you have crushed rejoice.

{Oh, that from Zion} would come salvation [for] Israel! When God returns the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive, because evil [is] in their home [and] {heart}.

because you have delivered my soul from death. [Have you] not [kept] my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Be exalted above the heavens, O God. [Let] your glory [be] above all the earth.

Be exalted above [the] heavens, O God. [Let] your glory [be] above all the earth.

Let them run [away] like water [that] runs off. [When] he bends [the bow], let his arrows [be] as though they were cut off.

[Let them be] like a snail [that] melts away [as] it goes; [like the] stillborn of woman [that] do not see [the] sun.

[By] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips, even in their pride, let them be trapped, and for [the] curses and lies they proclaim.

Who will bring me to [the] fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart grows faint. You will lead me to a rock [that is] higher than I.

Let me reside in your tent forever. Let me take refuge under the covering of your wings. Selah

[He] rules by his might forever; his eyes keep watch on the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

You let men ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you have brought us out to the place of abundance.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all of the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, because you judge [the] peoples with equity and guide the nations on the earth. Selah

Let [the] peoples praise you, O God; let all [the] peoples praise you.

You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts [from] among humankind, and even [from the] rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell [there].

Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh [of] hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel.

Deliver me from [the] mud and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me and from [the] watery depths.

Do not let the torrent of waters flood over me, or [the] deep swallow me, or the pit close its mouth over me.

Let their table before them be a trap, and their [times of] peace a snare.

Let their eyes be dark so they cannot see, and make their loins continually tremble.

Pour out your indignation on them, and let your burning anger overtake them.

Let their camp be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents,

{Add guilt on top of their guilt}, and do not let them {be acquitted}.

Let them be blotted out of [the] book of [the] living, and let them not be recorded with [the] righteous.

[The] afflicted will see [and] rejoice. O God seekers, let your heart revive,

Let heavens and earth praise him, [the] seas and all that moves in them,

Let them be ashamed and abashed who seek my life. Let them be repulsed and humiliated [who] desire my harm.

let them turn back because of their shame, those who say, "Aha! Aha!"

Let them rejoice and be glad in you, all those who seek you. Let them say continually, "God is great!" [those] who love your salvation.

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

Let them be ashamed; let them perish who are {my adversaries}. Let [them] wrap themselves with scorn and disgrace who seek my harm.

Let [the] mountains yield prosperity for the people, and [the] hills in righteousness.
