Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, you righteous. Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

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

The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

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

A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.

Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.

I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

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

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

Let them be as chaff before the wind, The LORD's angel driving them on.

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

My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.

You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. Lord, do not be far from me.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

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

Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.

For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

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.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

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

They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish?vanish like smoke.

The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.

For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

The steps of a man are established by the LORD, and he delights in his way.

For the LORD loves justice, and doesn't forsake his holy ones. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

Do not forsake me, LORD. My God, do not be far from me.

Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

"Hear my prayer, LORD, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

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

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn't triumph over me.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen and amen.

The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

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.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.

I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth."

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

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.

Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.

"Gather my holy ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.

Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When God brings back his people from captivity, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.

Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

which doesn't listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

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

Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.

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.

Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.

He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress?I will never be greatly shaken.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
