For thou hast delivered me out of all my trouble, so that mine eye seeth his desire upon mine enemies.

Pay attention to me and answer me! I am so upset and distressed, I am beside myself,

because of the enemy’s voice,
because of the pressure of the wicked.
For they bring down disaster on me
and harass me in anger.

And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.

Evening and morning and at noon I will complain and murmur,
And He will hear my voice.

He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me.

Yea, they lay hands upon such as be at peace with him, and so they break his covenant.

I will comfort myself in God's word; yea, I will hope in God, and not fear. What can flesh then do unto me?

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

In God's word will I rejoice, in the LORD's word will I comfort me.

Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.

My heart is committed, God, my heart is committed, so I will sing and play music.

The ungodly are froward, even from their mother's womb; as soon as they be born, they go astray and speak lies.

Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.

As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

As a green thorn kindled with fire goeth out before your pots be made hot; even so, let a furious rage bring him to nought.

The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out; they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

For see, they are watching in secret for my soul; the strong have come together against me? but not because of my sin, or my evil-doing, O Lord.

Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.

Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.

For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
They utter curses and lies.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, so that they shall be no more: And let them know that God ruleth in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. Selah

{To the chanter, upon the rose of witness, Michtam of David, for to teach: when he fought against Mesopotamia, and Syria of Zoba: and when Joab turned back, and slew twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt} O God, thou hast cast us out and scattered us abroad; thou that hast been so sore displeased at us, comfort us again.

You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

Thou hast suffered thy people to see hardship, Thou hast let them drink the wine of confusion.

You have given a signal flag to those who fear You,
so that they can flee before the archers.Selah

so that your beloved ones may be rescued. Save by your right hand and answer us.

Mine, is Gilead - and mine, Manasseh, But, Ephraim, is the defence, of my head, Judah, is my commander's staff;

Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.

By God's power we will conquer; he will trample down our enemies.

From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that's too high for me.

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

He only is my strength, my salvation, my defense, so that I shall not greatly fall.

He only is my strength, my salvation, my defense: so that I shall not fall.

Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

For the music director; a psalm of David. Listen to me, O God, as I offer my lament! Protect my life from the enemy's terrifying attacks.

So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

They search out iniquities; We have accomplished,'say they , a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:

Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.

So they who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs [the evidence of Your presence].
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

You water its furrows abundantly,
You smooth its ridges;
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.

The folds shall be full of sheep; the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.

Come and see the works of God: he is terrible in his doing toward the children of men.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

Thou didst bring us into the hunter's net, Thou didst lay a load upon our loins;

Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.

If I saw vanity in my heart, Jehovah will not hear.

But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.

so that Your way may be known on earth,
Your salvation among all nations.

The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.

God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Mount Bashan is God’s towering mountain;
Mount Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness.

You have ascended on high; you have led away captives. You have received gifts [from] among humankind, and even [from the] rebellious, so that Yah God may dwell [there].

The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:

So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, In the blood of enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.'

They have seen Your [solemn] procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary [in holiness].

for thy temple's sake at Jerusalem; so shall kings bring presents unto thee.

Say sharp words to the beast among the water-plants, the band of strong ones, with the lords of the peoples, put an end to the people whose delight is in war.

to the one who rides in the highest heavens of old. See, he gives forth his voice, a mighty voice.

Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.

I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me.

I am weary of crying; my throat is dry. My sight faileth me, for waiting so long upon my God.

O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

They who sit in the [city’s] gate talk about me and mock me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.

Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.

You know how I am insulted, humiliated and disgraced; you can see all my enemies.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick.
And I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
And for comforters, but I found none.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

I will praise God’s name with song
and exalt Him with thanksgiving.

So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn and divided hoof.

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

Let the heavens and earth praise him, along with the sea and its swarming creatures.

For God will be the saviour of Zion, and the builder of the towns of Judah; so that it may be their resting-place and heritage.

For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention. O God, please be willing to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me!

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

Many are appalled when they see me, but you are my secure shelter.
