Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,

The Lord shows his faithful followers the way they should live.

For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye.

Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?

May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

He rules by his power forever; he watches the nations. Stubborn rebels should not exalt themselves. (Selah)

Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!

They are forever firm, and should be faithfully and properly carried out.

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

May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.

O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them?
