But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.

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.

Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.

Let their eyes be blind so that they may not see; let their bodies for ever be shaking.

Let your curse come on them; let the heat of your wrath overtake them.

Give their houses to destruction, and let there be no one in their tents.

Let their punishment be increased; let them not come into your righteousness.

Let their names be taken from the book of the living, let them not be numbered with the upright.

But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.

The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.

Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.

Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward 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 God be great.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.

Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

Praise to the glory of his noble name for ever; let all the earth be full of his glory. So be it, So be it.

They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.

O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.

O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.

I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.

Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

Give ear, O my people, to my law; let your ears be bent down to the words of my mouth.

So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.

And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.

He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.

Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.

Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

Let the horn be sounded in the time of the new moon, at the full moon, on our holy feast-day:

I am the Lord your God, who took you up from the land of Egypt: let your mouth be open wide, so that I may give you food.

O God, do not keep quiet: let your lips be open and take no rest, O God.

O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

Let us see your mercy, O Lord, and give us your salvation.

I will give ear to the voice of the Lord; for he will say words of peace to his people and to his saints; but let them not go back to their foolish ways.

Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need.

Let my prayer come before you; give ear to my cry:

In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

Let the Lord be praised for ever. So be it, So be it.

With long life will he be rewarded; and I will let him see my salvation.

O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.

Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.

O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.

O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.

Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.

Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;

Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,

The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.

The Lord is King; let the peoples be in fear: his seat is on the winged ones; let the earth be moved.

Let them give praise to your name, for it is great and to be feared; holy is he.

Give ear to my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.

Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:

Let my thoughts be sweet to him: I will be glad in the Lord.

Let sinners be cut off from the earth, and let all evil-doers come to an end. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul. Give praise to the Lord.

Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.

Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them make offerings of praise, giving news of his works with cries of joy.

Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

Let them give glory to him in the meeting of the people, and praise among the chiefs.

Let the wise give thought to these things, and see the mercies of the Lord.

God of my praise, let my prayer be answered;

Put an evil man over him; and let one be placed at his right hand to say evil of him.

When he is judged, let the decision go against him; and may his prayer become sin.

Let his life be short; let another take his position of authority.

Let his children have no father, and his wife be made a widow.

Let his children be wanderers, looking to others for their food; let them be sent away from the company of their friends.

Let his creditor take all his goods; and let others have the profit of his work.
