Hold them guilty, O God;
Let them fall by their own designs and councils!
Cast them out because of the abundance of their transgressions,
For they are mutinous and have rebelled against You.

The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, my cup [He is all I need];
You support my lot.

Take hold of shield and buckler (small shield),
And stand up for my help.

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and listen to my cry;
Do not be silent at my tears;
For I am Your temporary guest,
A sojourner like all my fathers.

For innumerable evils have encompassed me;
My sins have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see.
They are more numerous than the hairs of my head,
And my heart has failed me.

Panic seized them there,
And pain, as that of a woman in childbirth.

But God will break you down forever;
He will take you away and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

But You, O Lord, will laugh at them [in scorn];
You scoff at and deride all the nations.

Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You have taken hold of my right hand.

Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand [from judging the enemy]?
Remove Your hand from Your chest, destroy them!

You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

Do not keep silent, O God;
Do not hold Your peace or be still, O God.

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.
I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];
It will not grasp hold of me.

He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.

The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

Uphold me that I may be safe,
That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

Trouble and anguish have found me,
Yet Your commandments are my delight and my joy.

Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.
