All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

I do not sit with deceitful men,
Nor will I go with pretenders.

I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

I am bent over and greatly bowed down;
I go mourning all day long.

These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And do not go out with our armies.

Walk about Zion and go around her;
Count her towers;

Consider her ramparts;
Go through her palaces,
That you may tell it to the next generation.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

Day and night they go around her upon her walls,
And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.

Let death come deceitfully upon them;
Let them go down alive to Sheol,
For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
These who speak lies go astray from birth.

They return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And go around the city.

They return at evening, they howl like a dog,
And go around the city.

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;
In the balances they go up;
They are together lighter than breath.

But those who seek my life to destroy it,
Will go into the depths of the earth.

They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.

I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit;
I have become like a man without strength,

You have removed my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an object of loathing to them;
I am shut up and cannot go out.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Lovingkindness and truth go before You.

He led them also by a straight way,
To go to an inhabited city.

Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into silence;

A Song of Ascents, of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord—
An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Let us go into His dwelling place;
Let us worship at His footstool.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?

Answer me quickly, O Lord, my spirit fails;
Do not hide Your face from me,
Or I will become like those who go down to the pit.
