God will hear and answer them—
Even the one who sits enthroned from of old— Selah.
With whom there is no change,
And who do not fear God.

Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

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.

When I am afraid,
I will put my trust in You.

Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call;
This I know, that God is for me.

Your vows are binding upon me, O God;
I will render thank offerings to You.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.
Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me,
For my soul takes refuge in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge
Until destruction passes by.

I will cry to God Most High,
To God who accomplishes all things for me.

He will send from heaven and save me;
He reproaches him who tramples upon me. Selah.
God will send forth His lovingkindness and His truth.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!

Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.

Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”

Because of his strength I will watch for You,
For God is my stronghold.

My God in His lovingkindness will meet me;
God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes.

Do not slay them, or my people will forget;
Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down,
O Lord, our shield.

O my strength, I will sing praises to You;
For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness.

God has spoken in His holiness:
“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem and measure out the valley of Succoth.

Who will bring me into the besieged city?
Who will lead me to Edom?

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

Through God we shall do valiantly,
And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.

You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations.

He will abide before God forever;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.

So I will sing praise to Your name forever,
That I may pay my vows day by day.

How long will you assail a man,
That you may murder him, all of you,
Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.

So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.

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

They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a prey for foxes.

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.

So they will make him stumble;
Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will shake the head.

Then all men will fear,
And they will declare the work of God,
And will consider what He has done.

The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will glory.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song.
There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God,
And to You the vow will be performed.

How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

Say to God, “How awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You.

“All the earth will worship You,
And will sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah.

Come and hear, all who fear God,
And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

If I regard wickedness in my heart,
The Lord will not hear;

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy;
For You will judge the peoples with uprightness
And guide the nations on the earth. Selah.

“Kings of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home will divide the spoil!”

Why do you look with envy, O mountains with many peaks,
At the mountain which God has desired for His abode?
Surely the Lord will dwell there forever.

Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies,
The hairy crown of him who goes on in his guilty deeds.

The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan.
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;

Because of Your temple at Jerusalem
Kings will bring gifts to You.

Envoys will come out of Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

I will praise the name of God with song
And magnify Him with thanksgiving.

And it will please the Lord better than an ox
Or a young bull with horns and hoofs.

For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.

The descendants of His servants will inherit it,
And those who love His name will dwell in it.

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

I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
Will revive me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

I will also praise You with a harp,
Even Your truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
And my soul, which You have redeemed.

My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

He will have compassion on the poor and needy,
And the lives of the needy he will save.

He will rescue their life from oppression and violence,
And their blood will be precious in his sight;

May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;
Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon;
And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.

If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

Like a dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form.

With Your counsel You will guide me,
And afterward receive me to glory.

For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.

How long, O God, will the adversary revile,
And the enemy spurn Your name forever?

Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast;
Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.

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.

For the wrath of man shall praise You;
With a remnant of wrath You will gird Yourself.

He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.

For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.
My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.

I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ponders:

Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?

I shall remember the deeds of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

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.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He give bread also?
Will He provide meat for His people?”

How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture
Will give thanks to You forever;
To all generations we will tell of Your praise.

O God, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

O Lord God of hosts,
How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Then we shall not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

O Lord God of hosts, restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you;
O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

“I, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

“Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.”

Will You be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?

Will You not Yourself revive us again,
That Your people may rejoice in 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.

Indeed, the Lord will give what is good,
And our land will yield its produce.

Righteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.

In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You,
For You will answer me.

Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.

I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
