“I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

O sons of men, how long will my honor become a reproach?
How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? Selah.

What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?

The Lord is in His holy temple; the Lord’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.

For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.

The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there are any who understand,
Who seek after God.

Their offspring You will destroy from the earth,
And their descendants from among the sons of men.

The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exults,
And with my song I shall thank Him.

A Psalm of David.
Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

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!

Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.

You are fairer than the sons of men;
Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.

In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.

“You sit and speak against your brother;
You slander your own mother’s son.

God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men
To see if there is anyone who understands,
Who seeks after God.

My soul is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe forth fire,
Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David.
Do you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

Come and see the works of God,
Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

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.

I have become estranged from my brothers
And an alien to my mother’s sons.

Those who sit in the gate talk about me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.

I will praise the name of God with song
And magnify Him with thanksgiving.

A Psalm of Solomon.
Give the king Your judgments, O God,
And Your righteousness to the king’s son.

The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

You have by Your power redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows,
Yet they turned back in the day of battle.

Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.

Raise a song, strike the timbrel,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.

Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh grant Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your handmaid.

For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord?
Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord,

“The enemy will not deceive him,
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

“If his sons forsake My law
And do not walk in My judgments,

Remember what my span of life is;
For what vanity You have created all the sons of men!

Sing to the Lord a new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

A Psalm.
O sing to the Lord a new song,
For He has done wonderful things,
His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.

He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.

O seed of Abraham, His servant,
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,

And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with the blood.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness,
And for His wonders to the sons of men!

The heavens are the heavens of the Lord,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men.

O Lord, surely I am Your servant,
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid,
You have loosed my bonds.

The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.

“If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I will teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever.”

How can we sing the Lord’s song
In a foreign land?

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, “Raze it, raze it
To its very foundation.”

O Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him?
Or the son of man, that You think of him?

I will sing a new song to You, O God;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,

Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,
And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;

To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts
And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.

For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;
He has blessed your sons within you.

And He has lifted up a horn for His people,
Praise for all His godly ones;
Even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.

Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
