But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

But I have had faith in your mercy; my heart will be glad in your salvation.

You have put to shame the thoughts of the poor, but the Lord is his support.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.

They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.

He who is holy will see that you are holy; but to the man whose way is not straight you will be a hard judge.

For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but eyes full of pride will be made low.

For who is God but the Lord? or who is a Rock but our God?

They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

But as for me, I will go on in my upright ways: be my saviour, and have mercy on me.

Do not take me away with the sinners and the workers of evil, who say words of peace to their neighbours, but evil is in their hearts.

I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.

But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.

And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.

The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.

Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

But as for me, when they were ill I put on the clothing of sorrow: I went without food and was sad, and my prayer came back again to my heart.

But they took pleasure in my trouble, and came together, yes, low persons came together against me without my knowledge; they never came to an end of wounding me.

For the evil-doers will be cut off: but those who have faith in the Lord will have the earth for their heritage.

But the gentle will have the earth for their heritage; they will take their delight in peace without measure.

But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.

For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

But he came to an end, and there was no sign of him; I made a search for him and he was not there.

But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

But the Lord is the saviour of the upright: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.

But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

Uprooting the nations with your hand, and planting our fathers in their place; cutting down the nations, but increasing the growth of your people.

For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

But now you have sent us away from you, and put us to shame; you do not go out with our armies.

All this has come on us, but still we have kept you in our memory; and we have not been false to your word.

But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.)

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.

But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

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.

But you are laughing at them, O Lord; you will make sport of all the nations.

But I will make songs of your power; yes, I will give cries of joy for your mercy in the morning; because you have been my strength and my high tower in the day of my trouble.

Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah.)

But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

Evils have overcome us: but as for our sins, you will take them away.

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

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

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

Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

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.

My heart is broken by bitter words, I am full of grief; I made a search for some to have pity on me, but there was no one; I had no comforter.

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

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.

I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

But as for me, my feet had almost gone from under me; I was near to slipping;

But still I am ever with you; you have taken me by my right hand.

Whom have I in heaven but you? and having you I have no desire for anything on earth.

My flesh and my heart are wasting away: but God is the Rock of my heart and my eternal heritage.

But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.

But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.

But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

And I said, It is a weight on my spirit; but I will keep in mind the years of the right hand of the Most High.

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

But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;

But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.

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

But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.

But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.

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.

But to you did I send up my cry, O Lord; in the morning my prayer came before you.

But my faith and my mercy will be with him; and in my name will his horn be lifted up.

But I will not take away my mercy from him, and will not be false to my faith.

But you have put him away in disgust; you have been angry with the king of your selection.

You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.

But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.

For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.
