There are many who say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift up the light of Your face on us.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I put my trust in Jehovah; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to the mountains;

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah. I will set in safety, he pants for it.

lest my enemy say, I have overcome him, and my foes rejoice when I am shaken.

My heart says to You, Seek my face; Your face, O Jehovah, I will seek;

Also draw out the spear and the lance against those who pursue me; say to my soul, I am your salvation.

All my bones shall say, O Jehovah, who is like You, who delivers the poor from those stronger than he; yea, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?

And they widen their mouths against me; they say, Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen.

Let them not say in their hearts, Aha! Our Soul! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let those who delight in my justification shout and rejoice; and they shall say without ceasing, The Lord be magnified, delighting in the peace of His servant.

Let them be desolate as a reward for their shame, those who say to me, Aha, aha!

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You, and the ones loving your salvation always say, Let Jehovah be magnified.

They say, A wicked thing is poured out on him, and he who lies down shall rise no more.

My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?

I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the cruelty of the enemy?

As with a sword in my bones, my enemies shame me; while they say daily to me, Where is your God?

But to the wicked, God says, What is it to you, to declare My Precepts, and to take up My covenant in your mouth?

And man shall say, Truly, there is a reward for the righteous; truly, there is a God judging in the earth.

Behold, they bellow out with their mouth; swords are in their lips; for they say, Who hears?

They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them?

Say to God, How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power, Your enemies pretend obedience to You.

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

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say without ending, Let God be magnified.

And they say, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I would deceive a generation of Your sons.

Why should the nations say, Where is their God? Let Him be known among the nations before our eyes by the revenging of the blood of Your servants which is shed.

You turn man to dust, and say, Return, sons of men.

I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust.

Yet they say, Jehovah shall not see, nor shall the God of Jacob observe it.

Say among the nations, Jehovah reigns; and the world shall be established; it shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples in uprightness.

Blessed is Jehovah, the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen. Praise Jehovah!

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

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

Let Israel now say that His mercy endures forever.

Let the house of Aaron now say that His mercy endures forever.

Let those who fear Jehovah now say that His mercy endures forever.

For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

A Song of degrees; of David. Except that it was Jehovah who was for us, O may Israel say;

A Song of degrees. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth, Israel may now say;

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me, even the night shall be light around me.
