In all his scheming,
the wicked arrogantly thinks:
“There is no accountability,
since God does not exist.”

“He relies on the Lord;
let Him rescue him;
let the Lord deliver him,
since He takes pleasure in him.”

wouldn’t God have found this out,
since He knows the secrets of the heart?

since the price of redeeming him is too costly,
one should forever stop trying—

Bring joy to Your servant’s life,
because I turn to You, Lord.

Since I love Your commands
more than gold, even the purest gold,

A song of ascents.Since my youth they have often attacked me—
let Israel say—

Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not prevailed against me.
