So now, you kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!

How long, exalted men, will my honor be insulted?
How long will you love what is worthless
and pursue a lie?Selah

For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, Lord! Carefully consider my complaint!

For there is nothing reliable in what they say;
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.

O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,

What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

For what did the unjust one despise God, saying in his heart, Thou wilt not search?

When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?

May the Lord rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve!

The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men. For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

For the music director; by David. Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right. He who speaks honestly in his heart.

Let my vindication come from You,
for You see what is right.

Concerning what people do:
by the word of Your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.

I call on You, God,
because You will answer me;
listen closely to me; hear what I say.

With Your hand, Lord, save me from men,
from men of the world
whose portion is in this life:
You fill their bellies with what You have in store;
their sons are satisfied,
and they leave their surplus to their children.

May He give you what your heart desires
and fulfill your whole purpose.

You have granted him the desire of his heart, and have not withheld what his lips requested. Interlude

They will come and tell a people yet to be born
about His righteousness—
what He has done.

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not set his mind on what is false,
and who has not sworn deceitfully.

He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them His way.

What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

I do not sit with those committed to what is false, nor do I travel with hypocrites.

I have asked one thing from the Lord;
it is what I desire:
to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
gazing on the beauty of the Lord
and seeking Him in His temple.

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

Because they do not consider
what the Lord has done
or the work of His hands,
He will tear them down and not rebuild them.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord.

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

Turn away from evil and do what is good;
seek peace and pursue it.

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

Violent witnesses rise up; they ask me [concerning] what I do not know.

Do not let them say in their hearts,
“Aha! Just what we wanted.”
Do not let them say,
“We have swallowed him up!”

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

Trust in the Lord and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.

Turn away from evil and do what is good,
and dwell there forever.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom;
his tongue speaks what is just.

And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.

For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided, "I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil man."

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

I am speechless; I do not open my mouth
because of what You have done.

You discipline a man with punishment for sin,
consuming like a moth what is precious to him;
every man is only a vapor.Selah

He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord!

Then I say, "Look! I come! What is written in the scroll pertains to me.

I want to do what pleases you, my God. Your law dominates my thoughts."

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The salvation of my countenance -- My God!

Deep waters call out to what is deeper still; at the roar of your waterfalls all your breakers and your waves swirled over me.

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; a song of the Beloved.} My heart is welling forth with a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Appear in your majesty and be victorious! Ride forth for the sake of what is right, on behalf of justice! Then your right hand will accomplish mighty acts!

Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

My mouth will speak wisely, and I will understand what I think about.

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.

Your desire is for what is true in the inner parts: in the secrets of my soul you will give me knowledge of wisdom.

Because you favor Zion, do what is good for her! Fortify the walls of Jerusalem!

To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.

You love evil more than good, a lie more than speaking {what is right}. Selah

I will give thanks to you forever, because [of what] you have done, and I will wait on your name, because [it is] good, in the presence of your faithful ones.

For the music director; according to the machalath style; a well-written song by David. Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

O God, listen to my prayer! Pay attention to what I say!

because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

All day long people distort what I say; all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.

In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

I call upon the God Most High; to the God who completes what he began in me.

Do you really speak [what is] right [when] silent? [Do] you judge fairly the children of humankind?

No! You plan how to do what is unjust; you deal out violence in the earth.

Look what pours out of their mouths! They use their lips like swords, saying "Who will hear us?"

My God of Gracious Love will meet me; God will enable me to see what happens to my enemies.

Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.

Do not trust in what you can gain by oppression! Do not put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery! If wealth increases, do not become attached to it!

and you, O Lord, demonstrate loyal love. For you repay men for what they do.

All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

Then those living on earth will know what you are like; all nations will know how you deliver your people.

Your God has commanded your strength. Show yourself strong, O God, [by] what you perform for us.

More numerous than the hairs of my head are [those] hating me without a cause. [Those who are] destroying me--my enemies wrongfully-- are mighty. What I did not steal, I then must restore.

I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.

I will declare your righteousness and your salvation every day, though I do not fully understand what the outcome will be.

O what great troubles and adversities hast thou showed me! And yet didst thou turn and refresh me; yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again.

May [what is] right blossom in his days and an abundance of peace, until [the] moon is no more.

Their eyes swell with fatness, and they do even what they lust.

They say, "How does God know what we do? Is the sovereign one aware of what goes on?"

Take a good look! This is what the wicked are like, those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

Do not disregard what your enemies say, or the unceasing shouts of those who defy you.
