There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

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. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

{To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.

As a green thorn kindled with fire goeth out before your pots be made hot; even so, let a furious rage bring him to nought.

so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth." For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

How long will ye assail a man; will ye seek, all of you, to break him down as a bowing wall or a tottering fence?

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation! Give him the honor he deserves!

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

So that thy foot shall shake in blood, the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies of him.

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

The humble have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God [requiring Him as your greatest need], let your heart revive and live.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who are loyal to him will live in it.

My God, deliver me from the hand of the unjust one, from the hand of him transgressing, and the violent one.

Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

May he judge Your people with righteousness,
And Your afflicted with justice.

May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.

So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth;

Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

May he have long life, and may gold from Sheba be given to him: may prayers be made for him at all times; may blessings be on him every day.

May his name go on for ever, as long as the sun: may men be blessing themselves by him; may all nations be blessing his name.

As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him,
That I may tell of all Your works.

Why do you remain inactive? Intervene and destroy him!

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

As for me, I will tell about Him forever;
I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.

My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

In the time of my trouble I sought the LORD, I held up mine hands to him in the night season, for my soul refused all other comfort.

I said, "I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me." (Selah)

And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

Because they did not believe in God [they did not rely on Him, they did not adhere to Him],
And they did not trust in His salvation (His power to save).

Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things.

When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;

And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

He set him a testimony in Joseph in his going forth upon the land of Egypt: I shall hear a lip I knew not

And I will send him forth in the hardnesses of their heart: they shall go in their counsels.

Those who hate the Lord
would pretend submission to Him;
their doom would last forever.

He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And with honey from a rock I satisfy thee!

Happy the man strength to him in thee; the raised ways in their heart;

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

I will hear, what GOD - Yahweh - will speak, - For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.

His salvation is very near those who fear Him,
so that glory may dwell in our land.

Righteousness will go before Him
to prepare the way for His steps.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

God is greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
more awe-inspiring than all who surround Him.

Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel];
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found David My servant;
I have anointed him with My sacred oil.

My hand will always be with him,
and My arm will strengthen him.

The enemy will not afflict him;
no wicked man will oppress him.

I will crush his foes before him
and strike those who hate him.

My faithfulness and love will be with him,
and through My name
his horn will be exalted.

I will also make him My firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.

I will always preserve My faithful love for him,
and My covenant with him will endure.

I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.

But I will not withdraw
My faithful love from him
or betray My faithfulness.

But You have spurned and rejected him;
You have become enraged with Your anointed.
