Many [are] saying about my soul, "There is no deliverance for him from God. Selah

Rise up, O Yahweh; deliver me, O my God; for you strike all my enemies [on the] cheek. [The] teeth of [the] wicked you break.

But know that Yahweh has set apart for himself [the] faithful one. Yahweh hears when I call to him.

In peace I will lie down and sleep {at once}, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

Listen to the sound of my pleading, my king and my God, for to you I pray.

For you [are] not a God [who] desires wickedness. Evil cannot dwell with you.

{But as for me}, through the abundance of your steadfast love I will enter your house. I will bow down toward {your holy temple} in awe [of] you.

For there is not [anything] reliable in his mouth; their inner part [is] destruction. Their throat is an open grave; [with] their tongue they speak deceit.

Treat them as guilty, O God; let them fall because of their plans. Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take shelter in you rejoice. Let them ever sing for joy, {because} you spread protection over them; And let those [who] love your name exult in you.

For you bless [the] righteous. O Yahweh, like a shield you surround him [with] good favor.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.

Turn, O Yahweh; deliver my life. Save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

For there is no remembrance of you in death. In Sheol, who will give thanks to you?

Depart from me, all workers of evil, for Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger, and lift yourself up against the wrath of my oppressors, and awake for me, since you have commanded judgment.

And he has prepared for him weapons of death. He has made his arrows fiery shafts.

what [is] a human being that you think of him? and a child of humankind that you care for him?

For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on [the] throne judging correctly.

But Yahweh sits [enthroned] forever. He has established his throne for judgment.

And Yahweh will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of distress.

And those who know your name will trust in you, for you do not forsake those [who] seek you, O Yahweh.

for he [who] {avenges bloodshed} remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of [the] afflicted.

for [the] needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall never perish.

O Yahweh, put them in fear. Let [the] nations know they [are merely] human. Selah

Why, O Yahweh, do you stand far off? [Why] do you hide during times of distress?

for [the] wicked boasts about the desire of his {heart}, and [the] one greedy for gain curses [and] treats Yahweh with contempt.

His ways endure at all times. Your judgments are aloof from him. [As for] all his enemies, he scoffs at them.

He sits in ambush in villages; in the hiding places he kills [the] innocent. His eyes {lurk} for [the] helpless.

[But] you have seen; indeed you have noted trouble and grief to take [it] into your hand. The helpless abandons [himself] upon you; you have been [the] helper [for the] orphan.

Break [the] arm of [the] wicked, and [as for the] evil [man]-- seek out his wickedness [until] you find none.

to render judgment [for the] fatherless and [the] oppressed [so that] a [mere] mortal from the earth will no longer cause terror.

For look: The wicked {string the bow}. They have fitted their arrow to [the] string, to shoot from [the] darkness at the upright of heart.

For Yahweh [is] righteous; he loves righteous deeds. [The] upright shall see his face.

Save, O Yahweh, for [the] pious have ceased [to be]; for [the] faithful have vanished from [among the] children of humankind.

"Because of [the] oppression of [the] afflicted, because of [the] groaning of [the] poor, now I will rise up," Yahweh says. "I shall put [them] in [the] safety [for which] they long."

But as for me, I have trusted in your steadfast love. My heart will rejoice in your deliverance.

{Oh that from Zion} [would come] salvation [for] Israel! When Yahweh returns the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be happy.

Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you.

[The] measuring lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Yes, [my] inheritance is delightful for me.

for you will not abandon my soul to Sheol; you will not give your faithful one to see [the] grave.

As for [the] works of humankind, by the word of your lips, I have kept [from] the ways of [the] violent.

As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.

In my trouble I called on Yahweh, and to my God I cried for help. He heard my voice from his temple, and my cry for help came up before his presence into his ears.

Smoke went forth from his nose, and fire from his mouth consumed. Burning coals blazed from him.

From the brightness before him his clouds passed over [with] hail and coals of fire.

And Yahweh thundered from the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice [with] hail and coals of fire.

For you deliver humble people, but haughty eyes you humiliate.

For you light my lamp; Yahweh, my God, lights up my darkness.

For with you I can charge a troop, and with my God I can scale a wall.

This God--his way [is] blameless. The word of Yahweh [is] flawless. He [is] a shield for all those who take refuge in him.

For who [is] God apart from Yahweh, and who [is] a rock except our God?

[He] trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

And you girded me [with] strength for the battle; [those] rising against me you made to kneel under me.

the God who executed vengeance for me, and subdued peoples under me,

the one who makes great victories for his king, and [who] shows loyal love for his anointed, to David and to his descendants forever.

[Yet] in all [the] world their line goes out, and their words to [the] end of [the] world. In them he has pitched a tent for the sun,

The fear of Yahweh [is] pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of Yahweh [are] true; they are righteous altogether,

May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God may we set up banners. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

For you meet him [with] blessings of good [things]. You set on his head a crown of fine gold.

For you set [on] him blessings forever. You make him glad with [the] joy [of] your presence.

You will make them like your fiery furnace at the time of your appearance. Yahweh will swallow them in his wrath and fire will consume them.

For you will {turn them to flight}; you will aim [arrows] on your bowstrings at their faces.

My God, my God why have you forsaken me? [Why are you] far from helping me, [far from] the words of my groaning?

Do not be far from me because trouble [is] near; because there is no helper.

They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

because he has not despised nor abhorred [the] affliction of [the] afflicted, and has not hid his face from him; but he listened to him when he cried for help.

Yahweh is my shepherd; I will not lack [for anything].

He restores my life. He leads me in {correct paths} for the sake of his name.

Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil because you [are] with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me

Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will stay in the house of Yahweh {for a very long time}.

Indeed, none who wait for you should be put to shame. Those who betray without cause should be put to shame.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions. According to your loyal love remember me [if] you [will], for the sake of your goodness, O Yahweh.

All the paths of Yahweh [are] loyal love and faithfulness for those who keep his covenant and statutes.

Also, for the sake of your name, O Yahweh, forgive my sin, because it [is] great.

Intimate fellowship with Yahweh [is] for those who fear him, and [he] makes known his covenant to them.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war arise against me, [even] in this I [will] remain confident.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong and let your heart show strength, and wait for Yahweh.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy inner sanctuary.

Yahweh [is] their strength, and he [is] the refuge for the salvation of his anointed one.

The voice of Yahweh flashes flames of fire.

O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help to you, and you healed me.

For [there is] a moment in his anger; [there is] a lifetime in his favor. Weeping lodges for the evening, but in the morning [comes] rejoicing.

But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, "I shall not be moved ever."

To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace [saying],

For you [are] my rock and my fortress. So, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.

Bring me out of [the] net that they have secretly set for me, for you [are] my refuge.

For my life is at an end with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength stumbles because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

For I hear [the] rumor of many, "Terror on every side!" When conspiring together against me, they have plotted to take my life.

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

How abundant [is] your goodness that you have stored up for [those who] fear you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.

As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before your eyes." However you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for help.

Be strong and let your heart show strength, all [you] who wait for Yahweh.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My vigor was changed into [the] dry heat of summer. Selah

Therefore let all [the] faithful pray to you at [the] time [for] finding [you]. Surely at [the] flood of many waters they will not reach him.

Do not be like a horse [or] like a mule, without understanding; [that needs] his tackle--bridle and rein--for restraint [or he would not] come near you.
