His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.

Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help.

They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes.

Do not draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.

"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

Blessed is the man to whom the LORD doesn't impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

By the LORD's word, the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth.

he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.

There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.

They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who fear him.

The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

They cried, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

Let their way be dark and slippery, The LORD's angel pursuing them.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.

Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."

Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. That's the way we want it." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: "There is no fear of God before his eyes."

There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn't there.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright in the way.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.

The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.

Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.

Through you we will push back our adversaries. Through your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches?

For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.

They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?

"Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

Do not throw me from your presence, and do not take your holy Spirit from me.

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity. There is no one who does good.

God looks down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there are any who understood, who seek after God.

Every one of them has gone back. They have become filthy together. There is no one who does good, no, not one.

There they were in great fear, where no fear was, for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you. You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent; like a deaf viper that stops its ear,

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.

Let them vanish as water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth."

Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."

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

How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.

Tell God, "How awesome are your deeds. Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... Selah.

Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.

You have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts among men, yes, among the rebellious also, that the LORD, God, might dwell there.

But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."

There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.

I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

Do not let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Hosts. Do not let those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me, God of Israel.

Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.

Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see. Let their backs be continually bent.

Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
