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.

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

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

You, even You, are to be feared;
And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry?

He divided the sea and caused them to pass through,
And He made the waters stand up like a heap.

A Psalm of Asaph.
God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers.

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have not made him stand in battle.

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

Appoint a wicked man over him,
And let an accuser stand at his right hand.

They stand this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things are Your servants.

If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?

You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In the courts of the house of our God!

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