For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle;
In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;
He will lift me up on a rock.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,
And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
But the Lord will take me up.

A Psalm of David.
To You, O Lord, I call;
My rock, do not be deaf to me,
For if You are silent to me,
I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
Nor the deeds of His hands,
He will tear them down and not build them up.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion like a young wild ox.

The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.
I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will never be moved.”

“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

For You are my rock and my fortress;
For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.

You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
For You are my strength.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,

I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I did not hide;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”;
And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.

Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;
I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,
Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check,
Otherwise they will not come near to you.

A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away and he departed.
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.

They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.

Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,
Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him,
And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue my soul from their ravages,
My only life from the lions.

I will give You thanks in the great congregation;
I will praise You among a mighty throng.

For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.

Delight yourself in the Lord;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.

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

Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.

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

Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.

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

The Lord knows the days of the blameless,
And their inheritance will be forever.

They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,
And in the days of famine they will have abundance.

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.

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

When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Depart from evil and do good,
So you will abide forever.

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.

The righteous will inherit the land
And dwell in it forever.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand
Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

Wait for the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright;
For the man of peace will have a posterity.

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

For I hope in You, O Lord;
You will answer, O Lord my God.

For the choir director, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
I said, “I will guard my ways
That I may not sin with my tongue;
I will guard my mouth as with a muzzle
While the wicked are in my presence.”

“Surely every man walks about as a phantom;
Surely they make an uproar for nothing;
He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.

I delight to do Your will, O my God;
Your Law is within my heart.”

I have proclaimed glad tidings of righteousness in the great congregation;
Behold, I will not restrain my lips,
O Lord, You know.

You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How blessed is he who considers the helpless;
The Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble.

The Lord will protect him and keep him alive,
And he shall be called blessed upon the earth;
And do not give him over to the desire of his enemies.

The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed;
In his illness, You restore him to health.

My enemies speak evil against me,
“When will he die, and his name perish?”

“A wicked thing is poured out upon him,
That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And upon the lyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.

Through You we will push back our adversaries;
Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow,
Nor will my sword save me.

In God we have boasted all day long,
And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.

Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift;
The rich among the people will seek your favor.

She will be led to the King in embroidered work;
The virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.

They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.

In place of your fathers will be your sons;
You shall make them princes in all the earth.

I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.

“Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

As we have heard, so have we seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God;
God will establish her forever. Selah.

For such is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will guide us until death.

My mouth will speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will express my riddle on the harp.

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.

For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They will never see the light.

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you;
I am God, your God.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble;
I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me.”

“These things you have done and I kept silence;
You thought that I was just like you;
I will reprove you and state the case in order before your eyes.

“Now consider this, you who forget God,
Or I will tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners will be converted to You.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.

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.

The righteous will see and fear,
And will laugh at him, saying,

I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it,
And I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.

He will recompense the evil to my foes;
Destroy them in Your faithfulness.

Willingly I will sacrifice to You;
I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

As for me, I shall call upon God,
And the Lord will save me.

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

He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,
For they are many who strive with me.
