God will hear and answer them, [he] who [is] enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

But you, O God, you will bring them down to [the] pit of corruption. [The] men of bloodshed and deceit will not live half their days, but I will trust you.

God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can [mere] flesh do to me?

You have kept count of my wonderings. Put my tears in your bottle; [are they] not in your book?

God I trust; I do not fear. What can [mere] humankind do to me?

because you have delivered my soul from death. [Have you] not [kept] my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

They have set a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me; they have fallen into the midst of it. Selah

so that it does not hear [the] voice of charmers [or the] skilled caster of spells.

[Let them be] like a snail [that] melts away [as] it goes; [like the] stillborn of woman [that] do not see [the] sun.

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

And you, Yahweh, God [of] hosts, [are] the God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations. Do not be gracious to any [who] treacherously plot evil. Selah

Do not kill them, lest my people forget. Make them [to] wander by your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

As for them, they wander for food. If they are not satisfied, then they continue all night.

Have not you yourself rejected us, O God, and not gone out with our armies, O God?

Only he [is] my rock and my salvation, my [high] stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Only he [is] my rock and my salvation, my [high] stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

Do not trust in extortion, and do not put vain [confidence] in robbery. If wealth increases, do not set [your] heart [on it].

When I remember you on my bed, I meditate on you in [the] night watches.

to shoot from their hiding places [at the] blameless. Suddenly they shoot [at] him and do not fear.

[He] rules by his might forever; his eyes keep watch on the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

the one who has kept our soul among the living, and has not allowed our foot to slip.

You brought us into the net; you placed a {heavy burden} on our backs.

If I had considered evil in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Blessed be God, who has not turned aside my prayer, or his loyal love from me.

More numerous than the hairs of my head are [those] hating me without a cause. [Those who are] destroying me--my enemies wrongfully-- are mighty. What I did not steal, I then must restore.

O God, {you yourself know} my foolishness, and my guilty deeds are not hidden from you.

Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh [of] hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel.

Deliver me from [the] mud and do not let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me and from [the] watery depths.

Do not let the torrent of waters flood over me, or [the] deep swallow me, or the pit close its mouth over me.

and do not hide your face from your servant. Because I am in trouble, answer me quickly.

{Add guilt on top of their guilt}, and do not let them {be acquitted}.

Let them be blotted out of [the] book of [the] living, and let them not be recorded with [the] righteous.

because Yahweh hears [the] needy and does not despise his [own who are] prisoners.

But I [am] poor and needy; O God hasten to me. You [are] my help and my deliverer. O Yahweh, do not delay.

Do not cast me away in the time of old age; when my strength fails do not abandon me.

O God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

My mouth will tell of your righteousness, your salvation {all day long}, though I do not know [the full] sum [of them].

And even when [I am] old and gray, O God, do not abandon me until I proclaim your {strength} to [this] generation, your power to every [one that] comes [after].

They do not have {ordinary trouble}, and they are not plagued as [other] people.

We do not see our signs, and there is no longer a prophet. No one with us knows how long.

Yours [is the] day, yours [is the] night also. You established light and [the] sun.

Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not ever forget the life of your afflicted ones.

Do not let [the] oppressed turn back humiliated; let [the] poor and needy praise your name.

Do not forget the sound of your adversaries, the roar of those rising up against you ascending continually.

I say to the boastful, 'Do not boast!' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up [your] horn!

Do not lift up high your horn. Do [not] speak with {arrogant pride}.'"

For [it is] not from [the] east or [the] west and not from [the] south [that] lifting up [comes],

In the day I [have] trouble, I seek the Lord. At night my hand stretches out {continually}; my soul refuses to be comforted.

I remember my song in the night. With my heart I meditate, and my spirit searches [to understand].

Your way [was] through the sea, and your path through many waters. Yet your footprints were not discerned.

We will not hide [them] from their children, telling the next generation the praises of Yahweh, and his power and his wonders that he has done.

that they might set their confidence in God, and not forget the deeds of God, but keep his commandments,

and not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation [that] did not make ready its heart, whose spirit was not faithful [to] God.

They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to go in his law.

And he led them with the cloud by day, and all night with a fiery light.

because they did not believe God, and they did not trust his salvation.

They had not yet turned aside from their craving, [while] their food [was] still in their mouth,

In spite of all this they sinned further and did not believe his wonders.

For their heart was not steadfast with him, nor were they faithful to his covenant.

But he [was] compassionate; he pardoned [their] guilt and did not destroy [them]. And many [times] he turned back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath,

for he remembered that they [were] flesh, a passing wind that does not return.

And they did not remember his {power} {when} he redeemed them from the enemy,

when he turned their rivers to blood so they could not drink [from] their streams.

He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but handed their life over to the plague.

And he led them safely and they were not afraid, but the sea covered their enemies.

But they tested and rebelled against God Most High and did not keep his statutes.

Fire devoured his young men, and his young women were not praised.

His priests fell by the sword, and his widows did not weep.

And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and did not chose the tribe of Ephraim,

Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on [the] kingdoms that do not call on your name,

Do not remember against us former iniquities; let your mercies meet us quickly because we are brought very low.

Then we will not turn back from you. Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.

He made it a statute in Joseph when he went out against the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language I did not know.

There shall be no strange god among you, and you shall not bow down to a foreign god.

But my people did not listen to my voice, and Israel did not yield to me.

They do not know or consider. They go about in the darkness, [so that] all [the] foundations of [the] earth are shaken.

O God, do not rest [silently]. Do not keep silent or be still, O God.

Because Yahweh God [is] a sun and a shield; Yahweh gives grace and honor. He does not withhold good from those who walk blamelessly.

Will you not again revive us, that your people might rejoice in you?

I will hear what God, Yahweh, will speak, because he will speak peace to his people, even his faithful [ones], but let them not return to folly.

O God, arrogant men have risen up against me, even a gang of ruthless men seek my life, but they do not set you before them.

O Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out by day [and] through the night before you.

[The] enemy will not deceive him, and no {evil man} will afflict him.

If his sons forsake my law and do not walk in my judgments,

if they defile my statutes and do not keep my commandments,

But I will not break off my loyal love from him, and I will not be false against my faithfulness.

I will not defile my covenant, or alter what proceeded from my lips.

Once I have sworn by my holiness, 'I will surely not lie to David,

You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not helped him stand [his ground] in the battle.

What man can live [on] and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the {power} of Sheol? Selah

For a thousand years in your eyes [are] like yesterday when it passes, or [like] a watch in the night.

You need not fear [the] terror of [the] night, [or the] arrow [that] flies by day,

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right [hand], [but] it will not come near you.

to declare in the morning your loyal love and your faithfulness in the night,

[The] brutish man does not know, and [the] fool cannot understand this.

Yahweh is king; he clothes himself with majesty. Yahweh clothes himself; he girds himself with might. Yes, [the] world is established [so that] it will not be moved.

while they say, "Yah does not see," and "The God of Jacob does not pay attention."

Will [the] one who planted [the] ear not hear? Will [the] one who formed [the] eye not see?

Will [the] one who instructs nations not rebuke, the one who teaches humankind knowledge?

For Yahweh will not abandon his people, nor forsake his inheritance.
