That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.

Will not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Awake, why wilt thou sleep, O Jehovah? awake, thou wilt not reject forever.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face? Wilt thou clean forget our misery and oppression?

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

Your arrows are sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. People will fall under you.

Thou lovedst justice, and thou wilt hate injustice: for this, God thy God anointed thee with the oil of joy above thy companions.

So will the king desire thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou him.

Even the daughter of Tyre [will come] with a gift. [The] rich from among people will seek your {favor}.

She will come before the king in robes of needlework; the virgins in her train will come before you.

With gladness and rejoicing will they be led;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make princes in all the land.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Its waters will roar, they will foam; the mountains will tremble in its pride. Silence.

A river, its streams will gladden the city of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God will help her, and that right early.

Nations raged, kingdoms were moved: he gave with his voice, the earth will melt

Causing wars to cease even to the end of the earth; he will break the bow, and be cut off the spear, and he will burn the cars in fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

He will put down the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.

Mount Zion will be glad; the towns of Judah will rejoice because of your judgments.

For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.

My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart [will be] understanding.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the perversity of my ambushers will surround me?

They trusting upon their wealth, and they will glory in the multitude of their riches.

Indeed, he will see wise people die; the stupid and the senseless will meet their doom and leave their wealth to others.

Their inward thought is that their houses will continue forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have named their lands after their own names [ignoring God].

But despite his assets, man will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.

This their way folly to them: and those after them will delight in their mouth. Silence.

Like sheep they are destined to Sheol; death will shepherd them. But the upright will rule over them in the morning, and their forms [will be for] Sheol to consume, [far from] his lofty abode.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

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

Humanity, despite its conceit, does not understand that it will perish, just like the animals. A song of Asaph.

chanting to Asaph. The God of gods, Jehovah spike, and he will call the earth from the rising of the sun even to its going down.

Our God will come, and will not keep silence: fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

He will call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

For, mine, is every wild-beast of the forest, The cattle on the mountains, in their thousands;

I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

If I be hungry, I will not tell thee: for the whole world is mine, and all that therein is.

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

And to the unjust one God said, What to thee to recount my law, and thou wilt lift up my covenant upon thy mouth?

And thou hatedst instruction, and thou wilt cast my words behind thee.

If thou sawest a thief, and thou wilt run with him, and thy portion with those committing adultery.

Thou sentest thy month into evil, and thy tongue will contrive deceit

Thou wilt sit, and thou wilt speak against thy brother; against the son of thy, mother thou wilt give a stumbling-block.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear [you] apart, and there [will be] none to deliver.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Against thee, thee alone, did I sin, and I did evil in thine eyes: so that thou wilt be justified in thy speaking, and thou wilt be pure in thy judging.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Wilt thou cause me to hear joy and gladness? The bones thou hast crushed would exult.

Thou wilt not cast me away from thy face, and thou wilt not take thy holy spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, And, with a willing spirit, wilt thou uphold me: -

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation; [then] my tongue will sing aloud [of] your righteousness.

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will proclaim your praise.

For thou wilt not desire sacrifice - that I should give it, Ascending-offering, will not please:

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do good, in thy good-pleasure, unto Zion, Wilt thou build the walls of Jerusalem!

Then will thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, In burnt-offering and in whole burnt-offering: Then will they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

To the overseer instruction to David: In the coming of Doeg the Edomite to Saul, and he will say to him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why wilt thou boast in evil, thou strong one? the mercy of God is all the day.

Thy tongue will purpose mischief as a razor being sharpened, working deceit.

God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah

The righteous will see it and fear,
And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,

Behold, the man will not set God his strength, and he will trust in the multitude of his riches he will be strengthened in his mischief.

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

Will evildoers never understand?
They consume My people as they consume bread;
they do not call on God.

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other—
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores [the fortunes of] His people,
Let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

O God! by thine own Name, save me, And, by thine own strength, wilt thou vindicate me?

He will requite the evil unto mine enemies: Destroy thou them in thy truth.

I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good.

To the overseer upon the stringed instrument, instruction to David. Give ear O God, to my prayer; thou wilt not hide thyself from my supplication.

From the voice of the enemy, from the face of the oppression of the unjust one: for they will bring down vanity upon me, for in anger they will lie in wait for me.

My heart will be pained within me, and the terrors of death fell upon me.

Fear and trembling will come upon me, and horror will cover me.

I said, "O, who will give me the wings of a dove, so that I could fly away and live somewhere else?

Look, I will escape to a distant place; I will stay in the wilderness. (Selah)

I will hurry off to a place that is safe from the strong wind and the gale."

Day and night they will surround it upon its walls: and vanity and trouble in her midst

Covetings are in her midst; oppression and guile will not depart from her streets.

If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him.

Who together made sweet the intercourse, we will go into the house of God with the multitude.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
