Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;
Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

Let destruction come upon my enemy by surprise;
Let the net he hid for me catch him;
Into that very destruction let him fall.

But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God,
Yes, let them rejoice with delight.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all the things it contains;

Let them curse, but You bless.
When adversaries arise, let them be ashamed,
But let Your servant rejoice.

“Do not let a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil quickly hunt the violent man [to overthrow him and stop his evil acts].”

But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice,
Let them ever sing for joy;
Because You cover and shelter them,
Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You.
