Save me, O God, by Your name;
And vindicate me by Your [wondrous] power.

Hear my prayer, O God;
Listen to the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen against me
And violent men have sought my life;
They have not set God before them. Selah.

Behold, God is my helper and ally;
The Lord is the sustainer of my soul [my upholder].

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to You;
I will give thanks and praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.

Listen to my prayer, O God,
And do not hide Yourself from my plea.

We who had sweet fellowship together,
Who walked to the house of God in company.

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

God will hear and humble them,
Even He who sits enthroned from old— Selah.
Because in them there has been no change [of heart],
And they do not fear God [at all].

But You, O God, will bring down the wicked to the pit of destruction;
Men of blood and treachery will not live out half their days.
But I will [boldly and unwaveringly] trust in You.

Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled on me;
All day long the adversary oppresses and torments me.

In God, whose word I praise;
In God I have put my trust;
I shall not fear.
What can mere man do to me?

Cast them out because of their wickedness.
In anger bring down the peoples, O God!

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

In God, whose word I praise,
In the Lord, whose word I praise,

In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

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

For You have rescued my soul from death,
Yes, and my feet from stumbling,
So that I may walk before God
In the light of life.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me,
For my soul finds shelter and safety in You,
And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure
Until destruction passes by.

I will cry to God Most High,
Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].

He will send from heaven and save me;
He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah.
God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident!
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]!

Be exalted above the heavens, O God;
Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

O God, break their teeth in their mouth;
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord.

Men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely there is a God who judges on the earth.”

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
Set me securely on an inaccessibly high place away from those who rise up against me.

You, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Arise to punish all the nations;
Spare no one and do not be merciful to any who treacherously plot evil. Selah.

O [God] my strength, I will watch for You;
For God is my stronghold [my refuge, my protector, my high tower].

My God in His [steadfast] lovingkindness will meet me;
God will let me look triumphantly on my enemies [who lie in wait for me].

Destroy them in wrath, destroy them so that they may be no more;
Let them know that God rules over Jacob (Israel)
To the ends of the earth. Selah.

To You, O [God] my strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my stronghold [my refuge, my protector, my high tower], the God who shows me [steadfast] lovingkindness.

O God, You have rejected us and cast us off. You have broken [down our defenses and scattered] us;
You have been angry; O restore us and turn again to us.

God has spoken in His holiness [in His promises]:
“I will rejoice, I will divide [the land of] Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth [west to east].

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

Through God we will have victory,
For He will trample down our enemies.

Hear my cry, O God;
Listen to my prayer.

For You have heard my vows, O God;
You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name [with reverence].

He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God;
Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.

For God alone my soul waits in silence;
From Him comes my salvation.

For God alone my soul waits in silence and quietly submits to Him,
For my hope is from Him.

On God my salvation and my glory rest;
He is my rock of [unyielding] strength, my refuge is in God.

Trust [confidently] in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him.
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

God has spoken once,
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God.

O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;
My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
Guard my life from the terror of the enemy.

But God will shoot them with an [unexpected] arrow;
Suddenly they will be wounded.

Then all men will fear [God’s judgment];
They will declare the work of God,
And they will consider and wisely acknowledge what He has done.

To You belongs silence [the submissive wonder of reverence], and [it bursts into] praise in Zion, O God;
And to You the vow shall be performed.

By awesome and wondrous things You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust and hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

You visit the earth and make it overflow [with water];
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You provide their grain, when You have prepared the earth.

Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

Say to God, “How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to be obedient to You.

Come and see the works of God,
He is awesome in His deeds toward the children of men.

Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

For You have tested us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.

Come and hear, all who fear God [and worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and obedience],
And I will tell what He has done for me.

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

Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer
Nor His lovingkindness from me.

God be gracious and kind-hearted to us and bless us,
And make His face shine [with favor] on us— Selah.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.

The earth has yielded its harvest [as evidence of His approval];
God, our God, blesses us.

God blesses us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].

Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered;
Let those who hate Him flee before Him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked and guilty perish before [the presence of] God.

But let the righteous be glad; let them be in good spirits before God,
Yes, let them rejoice with delight.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert—
His name is the Lord—be in good spirits before Him.

A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.

God makes a home for the lonely;
He leads the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the stubborn and rebellious dwell in a parched land.

O God, when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness, Selah.

The earth trembled;
The heavens also poured down rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You, O God, sent abroad plentiful rain;
You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched and weary.

Your flock found a dwelling place in it;
O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A [high] mountain of many summits is Mount Bashan [rising east of the Jordan].

Why do you look with envy, mountains with many peaks,
At the mountain [of the city of Zion] which God has desired for His dwelling place?
Yes, the Lord will dwell there forever.

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as He was at Sinai, in holiness.

You have ascended on high, You have led away captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even from the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day,
The God who is our salvation! Selah.

God is to us a God of acts of salvation;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death [setting us free].

Surely God will shatter the head of His enemies,
The hairy scalp of one who goes on in his guilty ways.

They have seen Your [solemn] procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary [in holiness].

Bless God in the congregations, [give thanks, gratefully praise Him],
The Lord, you who are from [Jacob] the fountain of Israel.

Your God has commanded your strength [your power in His service and your resistance to temptation];
Show Yourself strong, O God, who acted on our behalf.

Princes and envoys shall come from Egypt;
Ethiopia will quickly stretch out her hands [with the offerings of submission] to God.

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,
Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.

Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel
And His strength is in the skies.

O God, You are awesome and profoundly majestic from Your sanctuary;
The God of Israel gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

Save me, O God,
For the waters have threatened my life [they have come up to my neck].

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait [with confident expectation] for my God.

Those who hate me without cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being my enemies wrongfully;
I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

O God, You know my folly;
My wrongs are not hidden from You.

Do not let those who wait [confidently] for You be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts;
Do not let those who seek You [as necessary for life itself] be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

They who sit in the [city’s] gate talk about me and mock me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable and opportune time;
O God, in the greatness of Your favor and in the abundance of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with truth [that is, the faithfulness of Your salvation].

May they be blotted out of the book of life [and their lives come to an end]
And may they not be recorded with the righteous (those in right standing with God).

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

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

The humble have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God [requiring Him as your greatest need], let your heart revive and live.
