I hate those who regard vain idols,
But I trust in the Lord.

But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, “You are my God.”

Many are the sorrows of the wicked,
But he who trusts in the Lord, lovingkindness shall surround him.

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled my soul with fasting,
And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together;
The smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me,
They slandered me without ceasing.

For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

But the humble will inherit the land
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

For the arms of the wicked will be broken,
But the Lord sustains the righteous.

But the wicked will perish;
And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures,
They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives.

For those blessed by Him will inherit the land,
But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

For the Lord loves justice
And does not forsake His godly ones;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

Then he passed away, and lo, he was no more;
I sought for him, but he could not be found.

But transgressors will be altogether destroyed;
The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
He is their strength in time of trouble.

But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

But my enemies are vigorous and strong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

But You, O Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up,
That I may repay them.

For by their own sword they did not possess the land,
And their own arm did not save them,
But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,
For You favored them.

But You have saved us from our adversaries,
And You have put to shame those who hate us.

All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You,
And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

But for Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

But man in his pomp will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
For He will receive me. Selah.

But to the wicked God says,
“What right have you to tell of My statutes
And to take My covenant in your mouth?

But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches
And was strong in his evil desire.”

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

But it is you, a man my equal,
My companion and my familiar friend;

His speech was smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction;
Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days.
But I will trust in You.

But You, O Lord, laugh at them;
You scoff at all the nations.

But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.

They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position;
They delight in falsehood;
They bless with their mouth,
But inwardly they curse. Selah.

But those who seek my life to destroy it,
Will go into the depths of the earth.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

But God will shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.

But certainly God has heard;
He has given heed to the voice of my prayer.

But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God;
Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;
O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with Your saving truth.

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.

But I am afflicted and in pain;
May Your salvation, O God, set me securely on high.

But I am afflicted and needy;
Hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.

But as for me, I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps had almost slipped.

Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.

But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and exalts another.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off,
But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.

We will not conceal them from their children,
But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

That they should put their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments,

But they deceived Him with their mouth
And lied to Him with their tongue.

But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them;
And often He restrained His anger
And did not arouse all His wrath.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passes and does not return.

He leveled a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave over their life to the plague,

But He led forth His own people like sheep
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

He led them safely, so that they did not fear;
But the sea engulfed their enemies.

But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers;
They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

But chose the tribe of Judah,
Mount Zion which He loved.

“But My people did not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not obey Me.

“But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat,
And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones;
But let them not turn back to folly.

But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”;
And the Most High Himself will establish her.

But I, O Lord, have cried out to You for help,
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

“But I shall crush his adversaries before him,
And strike those who hate him.

“But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him,
Nor deal falsely in My faithfulness.

But You have cast off and rejected,
You have been full of wrath against Your anointed.

As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years,
Or if due to strength, eighty years,
Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow;
For soon it is gone and we fly away.

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.

But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
I have been anointed with fresh oil.

But the Lord has been my stronghold,
And my God the rock of my refuge.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.

But You, O Lord, abide forever,
And Your name to all generations.

“Even they will perish, but You endure;
And all of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.

“But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.

For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,
But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

But craved intensely in the wilderness,
And tempted God in the desert.

So He gave them their request,
But sent a wasting disease among them.

But grumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.

But they mingled with the nations
And learned their practices,

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.

The upright see it and are glad;
But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

In return for my love they act as my accusers;
But I am in prayer.

Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,
But persecuted the afflicted and needy man,
And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it entered into his body like water
And like oil into his bones.

But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, they shall be ashamed,
But Your servant shall be glad.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.

They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;

They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
