My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen stand afar off.

Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

He casts forth His ice as fragments;
Who can stand before His cold?

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;
You hate all who do iniquity.

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

You who fear the Lord, praise Him;
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.

Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?

O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
