Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,
for His anger may ignite at any moment.
All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

You destroy those who tell lies;
the Lord abhors a man of bloodshed and treachery.

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,
and may those who love Your name boast about You.

Those who know Your name trust in You
because You have not abandoned
those who seek You, Yahweh.

Be gracious to me, Lord;
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.
Lift me up from the gates of death,

Then they will be filled with terror,
for God is with those who are righteous.

who despises the one rejected by the Lord
but honors those who fear the Lord,
who keeps his word whatever the cost,

The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.

Display the wonders of Your faithful love,
Savior of all who seek refuge
from those who rebel against Your right hand.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too strong for me.

For You rescue an afflicted people,
but You humble those with haughty eyes.

You have made my enemies retreat before me;
I annihilate those who hate me.

Your hand will capture all your enemies;
your right hand will seize those who hate you.

I will give praise in the great congregation
because of You;
I will fulfill my vows
before those who fear You.

The humble will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise Him.
May your hearts live forever!

All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down;
all those who go down to the dust
will kneel before Him—
even the one who cannot preserve his life.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.Selah

No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.

All the Lord’s ways show faithful love and truth
to those who keep His covenant and decrees.

The secret counsel of the Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.

Davidic.Lord, I call to You;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.
If You remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.

Lord, You brought me up from Sheol;
You spared me from among those
going down to the Pit.

I hate those who are devoted to worthless idols,
but I trust in the Lord.

I am ridiculed by all my adversaries
and even by my neighbors.
I am dreaded by my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street run from me.

How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.

Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy;
their faces will never be ashamed.

The Angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear Him, and rescues them.

You who are His holy ones, fear Yahweh,
for those who fear Him lack nothing.

Young lions lack food and go hungry,
but those who seek the Lord
will not lack any good thing.

The face of the Lord is set
against those who do what is evil,
to erase all memory of them from the earth.

The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
He saves those crushed in spirit.

Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

Davidic.Oppose my opponents, Lord;
fight those who fight me.

Let those who seek to kill me
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who plan to harm me
be turned back and ashamed.

Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me;
do not let those who hate me without cause
look at me maliciously.

For they do not speak in friendly ways,
but contrive deceitful schemes
against those who live peacefully in the land.

Let those who rejoice at my misfortune
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and reproach.

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

Spread Your faithful love over those who know You,
and Your righteousness over the upright in heart.

Davidic.Do not be agitated by evildoers;
do not envy those who do wrong.

For evildoers will be destroyed,
but those who put their hope in the Lord
will inherit the land.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow
to bring down the afflicted and needy
and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

Those who are blessed by Him will inherit the land,
but those cursed by Him will be destroyed.

Those who seek my life set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

Those who repay evil for good
attack me for pursuing good.

How happy is the man
who has put his trust in the Lord
and has not turned to the proud
or to those who run after lies!

Let those who seek to take my life
be disgraced and confounded.
Let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.

Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!”
be horrified because of their shame.

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
let those who love Your salvation continually say,
“The Lord is great!”

But You give us victory over our foes
and let those who hate us be disgraced.

You make us retreat from the foe,
and those who hate us
have taken plunder for themselves.

You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors,
a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.

This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.Selah

“Gather My faithful ones to Me,
those who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

My friend acts violently
against those at peace with him;
he violates his covenant.

I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down with those who devour men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongues are sharp swords.

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A Davidic Miktam. When Saul sent agents to watch the house and kill him.Deliver me from my enemies, my God;
protect me from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from those who practice sin,
and save me from men of bloodshed.

You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers.Selah

Save with Your right hand, and answer me,
so that those You love may be rescued.

God, You have heard my vows;
You have given a heritage
to those who fear Your name.

But those who seek to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.

Those who live far away are awed by Your signs;
You make east and west shout for joy.

For the choir director. A Davidic psalm. A song.God arises. His enemies scatter,
and those who hate Him flee from His presence.

God provides homes for those who are deserted.
He leads out the prisoners to prosperity,
but the rebellious live in a scorched land.

Rebuke the beast in the reeds,
the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples.
Trample underfoot those with bars of silver.
Scatter the peoples who take pleasure in war.

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

Do not let those who put their hope in You
be disgraced because of me,
Lord God of Hosts;
do not let those who seek You
be humiliated because of me,
God of Israel.

because zeal for Your house has consumed me,
and the insults of those who insult You
have fallen on me.

Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.

Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink.
Let me be rescued from those who hate me
and from the deep waters.

For they persecute the one You struck
and talk about the pain of those You wounded.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
and those who love His name will live in it.

Let those who seek my life
be disgraced and confounded;
let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.

Let those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
let those who love Your salvation
continually say, “God is great!”

For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,

May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who seek my harm
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.

Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
Your righteousness all day long,
for those who seek my harm
will be disgraced and confounded.

Those far from You will certainly perish;
You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.

We have become an object of reproach
to our neighbors,
a source of mockery and ridicule
to those around us.

Let the groans of the prisoners reach You;
according to Your great power,
preserve those condemned to die.

Those who hate the Lord
would pretend submission to Him;
their doom would last forever.

See how Your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate You have acted arrogantly.

How happy are those who reside in Your house,
who praise You continually.Selah

For the Lord God is a sun and shield.
The Lord gives grace and glory;
He does not withhold the good
from those who live with integrity.

His salvation is very near those who fear Him,
so that glory may dwell in our land.

“I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”

I am counted among those going down to the Pit.
I am like a man without strength,

I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.

All who serve carved images,
those who boast in idols, will be put to shame.
All the gods must worship Him.

Let the sea and all that fills it,
the world and those who live in it, resound.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests;
Samuel also was among those calling on His name.
They called to Yahweh and He answered them.

to hear a prisoner’s groaning,
to set free those condemned to die,

For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His faithful love
toward those who fear Him.

As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

But from eternity to eternity
the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him,
and His righteousness toward the grandchildren
