Deliver my soul from the sword,
My only life from the power of the dog.

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue my soul from their ravages,
My only life from the lions.

Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.

Against You, You only, I have sinned
And done what is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak
And blameless when You judge.

For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They delight in falsehood;
They bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

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.

God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.

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

When they were only a few men in number,
Very few, and strangers in it.
