Be my judge, O Lord my God, in your righteousness; do not let them be glad over me.

In the words of his mouth are evil and deceit; he has given up being wise and doing good.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.

How good is your loving mercy, O God! the children of men take cover under the shade of your wings.

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

Have faith in the Lord, and do good; be at rest in the land, and go after righteousness.

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

The little which the good man has is better than the wealth of evil-doers.

For the arms of the evil-doers will be broken: but the Lord is the support of the good.

Those who have his blessing will have the earth for their heritage; but those who are cursed by him will be cut off.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

I have been young, and now am old, but I have not seen the good man without help, or his children looking for bread.

Be turned from evil, and do good; and your place will be for ever.

For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

The mouth of the good man says words of wisdom; the talk of his tongue is of righteousness.

The law of his God is in his heart; he will never make a false step.

Be waiting for the Lord, and keep his way; and you will be lifted up, and have the land for your heritage: when the evil-doers are cut off, you will see it.

Give attention to the good man, and take note of the upright; because the end of that man is peace.

But as for the sinners, they will be cut off together; the end of the wrongdoers is destruction.

I made no sound, I said no word, even of good; and I was moved with sorrow.

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

I was quiet, and kept my mouth shut; because you had done it.

And he put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; numbers have seen it with fear, and put their faith in the Lord.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

My delight is to do your pleasure, O my God; truly, your law is in my heart.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

My soul is dry for need of God, the living God; when may I come and see the face of God?

My tears have been my food day and night, while they keep saying to me, Where is your God?

Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God; for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

You are the God of my strength; why have you put me from you? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

Then I will go up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, O God, my God.

Why are you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.

Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

If the name of our God has gone out of our minds, or if our hands have been stretched out to a strange god,

Will not God make search for it? for he sees the secrets of the heart.

My heart is flowing over with good things; my words are of that which I have made for a king; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; the rod of your kingdom is a rod of honour.

You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil: and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head, lifting you high over all other kings.

God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.

There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.

Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.

The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah.)

O make a glad noise with your hands, all you peoples; letting your voices go up to God with joy.

God has gone up with a glad cry, the Lord with the sound of the horn.

Give praises to God, make songs of praise; give praises to our King, make songs of praise.

For God is the King of all the earth; make songs of praise with knowledge.

God is the ruler over the nations; God is on the high seat of his holy rule.

The rulers of the peoples have come together, with the people of the God of Abraham; because the powers of the earth are God's: he is lifted up on high.

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

Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;

This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)

But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.)

The God of gods, even the Lord, has sent out his voice, and the earth is full of fear; from the coming up of the sun to its going down.

Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

Make a clean heart in me, O God; give me a right spirit again.

Be my saviour from violent death, O God, the God of my salvation; and my tongue will give praise to your righteousness.

The offerings of God are a broken spirit; a broken and sorrowing heart, O God, you will not put from you.

Do good to Zion in your good pleasure, building up the walls of Jerusalem.

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.

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.

God was looking down from heaven on the children of men, to see if there were any who had wisdom, searching after God.

Every one of them has gone back; they are unclean: there is not one who does good, no, not one.

Have the workers of evil no knowledge? they take my people for food, as they would take bread; they make no prayer to God.

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

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

Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)

See, God is my helper: the Lord is the great supporter of my soul.

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

Freely will I make my offerings to you; I will give praise to your name, O Lord, for it is good.

Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.

We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.

As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.

God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah.) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.

But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.

In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.

By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.
