O my God, I have put my faith in you, let me not be shamed; let not my haters be glorying over me.

Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

Do not keep in mind my sins when I was young, or my wrongdoing: let your memory of me be full of mercy, O Lord, because of your righteousness.

Because of your name, O Lord, let me have forgiveness for my sin, which is very great.

O keep my soul, and take me out of danger: let me not be shamed, for I have put my faith in you.

Put me in the scales, O Lord, so that I may be tested; let the fire make clean my thoughts and my heart.

Let not my soul be numbered among sinners, or my life among men of blood;

O Lord, let the voice of my cry come to your ears: have mercy on me, and give me an answer.

Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

Give them the right reward of their acts, and of their evil doings: give them punishment for the works of their hands, let them have their full reward.

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.

In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.

Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld.

Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.

For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.

Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.

Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.

Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.

Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.

Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.

Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

Let your wrath be turned away from me, so that I may be comforted, before I go away from here, and become nothing.

Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.

Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.

O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.

Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.

Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.

Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.

Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;

Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts.

Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.

Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.

O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.

Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.

Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.

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.

Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,

Put an end to them in your wrath, put an end to them, so that they may not be seen again; let them see that God is ruling in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah.)

And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

Let them go wandering up and down in search of food, and be there all night if they have not enough.

So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

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

It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.

To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.

Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah.)

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

O let the nations be glad, and make song of joy; for you will be the judge of the peoples in righteousness, guiding the nations of the earth. (Selah.)

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

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

Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.

Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.
