On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.

The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.

They have said, With our tongues will we overcome; our lips are ours: who is lord over us?

Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.

You will keep them, O Lord, you will keep them safe from this generation for ever.

Will you for ever put me out of your memory, O Lord? will your face for ever be turned away from me?

How long is my soul to be in doubt, with sorrow in my heart all the day? how long will he who is against me be given power over me?

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

I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

May the salvation of Israel come out of Zion! when the fate of his people is changed by the Lord, Jacob will have joy and Israel will be glad.

Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on my lips.

I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.

For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death.

You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

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.

You, O Lord, will be my light; by you, my God, the dark will be made bright for me.

I will give them wounds, so that they are not able to get up: they are stretched under my feet.

You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

From the time when my name comes to their ears they will be ruled by me: men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority.

They will be wasting away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

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

The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!

For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.

Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.

You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.

Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.

I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Good and upright is the Lord: so he will be the teacher of sinners in the way.

He will be an upright guide to the poor in spirit: he will make his way clear to them.

If a man has the fear of the Lord, the Lord will be his teacher in the way of his pleasure.

His soul will be full of good things, and his seed will have the earth for its heritage.

The secret of the Lord is with those in whose hearts is the fear of him; he will make his agreement clear to them.

My eyes are turned to the Lord at all times; for he will take my feet out of the net.

I have been a hater of the band of wrongdoers, and I will not be seated among sinners.

I will make my hands clean from sin; so will I go round your altar, O Lord;

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

I have a safe resting-place for my feet; I will give praise to the Lord in the meetings of the people.

For in the time of trouble he will keep me safe in his tent: in the secret place of his tent he will keep me from men's eyes; high on a rock he will put me.

And now my head will be lifted up higher than my haters who are round me: because of this I will make offerings of joy in his tent; I will make a song, truly I will make a song of praise to the Lord.

When you said, Make search for my face, my heart said to you, For your face will I make my search.

When my father and my mother are turned away from me, then the Lord will be my support.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

The Lord is my strength and my breastplate, my heart had faith in him and I am helped; for this cause my heart is full of rapture, and I will give him praise in my song.

I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;

You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

I made my wrongdoing clear to you, and did not keep back my sin. I said, I will put it all before the Lord; and you took away my wrongdoing and my sin. (Selah.)

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.

You are my safe and secret place; you will keep me from trouble; you will put songs of salvation on the lips of those who are round me. (Selah.)

I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.

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

A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.

I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

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

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

Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

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

Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

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.

And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.

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.

Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.

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

And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.

For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.

For they will quickly be cut down like grass, and become dry like the green plants.

So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

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

And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

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

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

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

He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.
