There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

He says in his heart, God has no memory of me: his face is turned away; he will never see it.

In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

Everyone says false words to his neighbour: their tongues are smooth in their talk, and their hearts are full of deceit.

Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.

And he who is against me may not say, I have overcome him; and those who are troubling me may not be glad when I am moved.

I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.

All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you: strong in his wealth.

So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.

See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.

Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

And they say, How will the Lord see this? is there knowledge in the Most High?

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.

O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

Give ear, O my people, and I will give you my word, O Israel, if you will only do as I say!

I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.

He will say to me, You are my father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.

Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God, in whom is my hope.

Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.

And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.

If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.

Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.

Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.

Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

Let this be the reward given to my haters from the Lord, and to those who say evil of my soul.

Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

Let Israel now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Let all worshippers of the Lord now say, that his mercy is unchanging for ever.

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
