My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable],
A very present and well-proved help in trouble.

Consider her ramparts,
Go through her palaces,
That you may tell the next generation [about her glory].

Though while he lives he counts himself happy and prosperous—
And though people praise you when you do well for yourself—

They devise acts of injustice, saying,
“We are ready with a well-conceived plan.”
For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep (mysterious, unsearchable).

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps had almost slipped.

For a cup [of His wrath] is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed and fully spiced, and He pours out from it;
And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.

So they ate and were well filled,
He gave them what they craved.

The singers as well as the players of flutes will say,
“All my springs and sources of joy are in you [Jerusalem, city of God].”

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He conducts his affairs with justice.

Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your promise.

Your word is very pure (refined);
Therefore Your servant loves it.

For you shall eat the fruit of [the labor of] your hands,
You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.

Let our cattle bear
Without mishap and without loss,
And let there be no outcry in our streets!
