Yahweh's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The LORD hears those who cry out, and he delivers them from all their distress.

Yahweh [is] near to [those who are] heartbroken and saves [those who are] crushed in spirit.

Many adversities come to the one who is righteous,
but the Lord delivers him from them all.

Evil will slay [the] wicked, and [those who] hate [the] righteous will incur guilt.

Yahweh redeems the life of his servants, and none who take refuge in him will incur guilt.

Contend, O Yahweh, with my contenders; fight [those who] fight me.

And draw [the] spear and javelin to meet [those who] pursue me. Say to my soul, "I [am] your salvation."

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together; smiters whom I did not know gathered against me. They tore and did not cease.

With the flatterers were busy mockers, who gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Let not those who [are] wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me. [Nor let] those who hate me without cause wink [the] eye.

For they don't speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

For you are the one who gives and sustains life.

Prolong your loyal love to those who know you, and your righteousness to [the] upright of heart.

There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. Davidic

Don't fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for Yahweh-- they will possess [the] land.

He will be laughed at by the Lord, who sees that his day is coming.

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.

Better the little of the righteous man, than the abundance of the lawless who are mighty;

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

When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong,
Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! For the one who promotes peace has a future.

But the salvation of the righteous cometh of the LORD, who is also their strength in the time of trouble.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth not his mouth.

Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.

For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—
those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

And my enemies without cause are numerous, and those who hate me wrongfully are many.

And those who repay evil in return for good accuse me in return for my pursuing good.

Look, you make my days short-lived, and my life span is nothing from your perspective. Surely all people, even those who seem secure, are nothing but vapor.

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

“I have become mute, I do not open my mouth,
Because it is You who have done it.

O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'

Let them rejoice and be glad in you, all those who seek you. Let them say continually, "Yahweh is great!" --those who love your salvation.

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.

The one who comes to visit me speaks lies; in his heart he thinks slanderous things about me and goes around spreading them.

All who hate me speak together against me. Against me they assume the {worst} for me:

They say, A wicked thing is poured out on him, and he who lies down shall rise no more.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth, - When shall I enter in, and see the face of 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.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

For you are the God who shelters me. Why do you reject me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?

Then I will go to the altar of God, to the God who gives me ecstatic joy, so that I express my thanks to you, O God, my God, with a harp.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

You are my King, my God,
who ordains victories for Jacob.

By you we push down our enemies; by your name we tread down those who rise up against us.

Rather you have saved us from our enemies, and have humiliated those who hate us.

You have caused us to pull back from [the] enemy, and [so] those who hate us have plundered for themselves.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

And the daughters of Tyre will be there with an offering; those who have wealth among the people will be looking for your approval.

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

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

For the choir director. A song of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.God is our refuge and strength,
a helper who is always found
in times of trouble.

The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,

who makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth; He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots in the fire.

The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

For the sovereign Lord is awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules the whole earth!

He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.

For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who inhabit the world,

High and low together, the poor, and those who have wealth.

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

those who trust their wealth and boast about the abundance of their riches?

The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.

This [is] the journey [of those who] have foolish [confidence], and those after them [who] accept their sayings. Selah

He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never again see the light.

Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!

"Gather to me my loyal ones, [those] who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

When you see a thief, you join him; you associate with men who are unfaithful to their wives.

Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness;
In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful].

Rescue me from the guilt of murder, O God, the God who delivers me! Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance.

'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'

[The] fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt and they have done abominable iniquity. There is none who does good.

God looks down from heaven upon the children of humankind to see whether there is one who has insight, one who seeks God.

{All of them} have turned back. They are altogether corrupt. There is none who does good; there is not even one.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God turneth back to a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice -- Israel is glad!

For foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (Selah)

See, God [is] my helper; The Lord [is] with those who sustain my life.

May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil! As a demonstration of your faithfulness, destroy them!

And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear it, He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
