O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.

For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music.

Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise.

Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.

See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;

For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.

Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.

This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.

By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

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

The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

Let them not say in their hearts, So we will have it: let them not say, We have put an end to him.

Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.

Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

The sinner has evil designs against the upright, lifting up the voice of wrath against him.

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

Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

The sinners are watching the upright man, desiring to put him to death.

The Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.

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

And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

Because of the voice of him who says sharp and bitter words; because of the hater and him who is the instrument of punishment.

So will the king have a great desire for you, seeing how beautiful you are; because he is your lord, give him honour.

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

He will give us our heritage, the glory of Jacob who is dear to him. (Selah.)

For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.

For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;

He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.

He will send from heaven, and take me from the power of him whose desire is for my destruction. God will send out his mercy and his good faith.

Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.

How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?

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.)

My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.

He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah.)

My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.

God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.

Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.

Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him.

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.

The heads of the haters of God will be crushed; even the head of him who still goes on in his evil ways.

To him who goes or the clouds of heaven, the heaven which was from earliest times; he sends out his voice of power.

Because they are cruel to him against whom your hand is turned; they make bitter the grief of him who is wounded by you.

I will give praise to the name of God with a song; I will give glory to him for what he has done.

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

Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

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

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

For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.

May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

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

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.

And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

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

And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

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

They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.

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

Righteousness will go before him, making a way for his footsteps.

God is greatly to be feared among the saints, and to be honoured over all those who are about him.

My hand will be his support; my arm will give him strength.

The deceit of those who are against him will not overcome him; he will not be troubled by the sons of evil.

I will have those who are against him broken before his face, and his haters will be crushed under my blows.

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

And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

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 have given power to the right hand of his haters; you have made glad all those who are against him.

You have made him old before his time; he is covered with shame. (Selah.)

Because he has given me his love, I will take him out of danger: I will put him in a place of honour, because he has kept my name in his heart.

When his cry comes up to me, I will give him an answer: I will be with him in trouble; I will make him free from danger and give him honour.

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

So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.

Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.

O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.

Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
