Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

Because they have no respect for the works of the Lord, or for the things which his hands have made, they will be broken down and not lifted up by him.

May the Lord be praised, because he has given ear to the voice of my prayer.

Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.

I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.

For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.

I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;

Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld.

Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.

May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.

Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.

I will give you knowledge, teaching you the way to go; my eye will be your guide.

Do not be like the horse or the ass, without sense; ...

The sinner will be full of trouble; but mercy will be round the man who has faith in the Lord.

Be glad in the Lord with joy, you upright men; give cries of joy, all you whose hearts are true.

Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.

Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him.

For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.

I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.

My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.

Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.

By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.

The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.

Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.

Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.

Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.

Let destruction come on them without their knowledge; let them be taken themselves in their secret nets, falling into the same destruction.

And my soul will have joy in the Lord; it will be glad in his salvation.

Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.

Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.

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

Let all those who take pleasure in my troubles be shamed and come to nothing: let those who are lifted up against me be covered with shame and have no honour.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

And my tongue will be talking of your righteousness and of your praise all the day.

For he takes comfort in the thought that his sin will not be uncovered and hated.

The delights of your house will be showered on them; you will give them drink from the river of your pleasures.

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

There the workers of evil have come down: they have been made low, and will not be lifted up.

Do not be angry because of the wrongdoers, or have envy of the workers of evil.

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.

So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.

And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

Take your rest in the Lord, waiting quietly for him; do not be angry because of the man who does well in his evil ways, and gives effect to his bad designs.

Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

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

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

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

But their swords will be turned into their hearts, and their bows will be broken.

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

The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.

They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.

But the wrongdoers will come to destruction, and the haters of the Lord will be like the fat of lambs, they will be burned up; they will go up in smoke, and never again be seen.

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.

Even if he has a fall he will not be without help: for the hand of the Lord is supporting him.

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 Lord will not give him into their hands, or be against him when he is judged.

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.

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

And the Lord will be their help, and keep them safe: he will take them out of the hands of the evil-doers, and be their saviour, because they had faith in him.

O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

By the weight of your wrath against man's sin, the glory of his form is wasted away; truly every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

Let your wrath be turned away from me, so that I may be comforted, before I go away from here, and become nothing.

Be pleased, O Lord, to take me out of danger; O Lord, come quickly and give me help.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

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.

Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.

My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?

By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.

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

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.

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.

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

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

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.

For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

Through you will we overcome our haters; by your name will they be crushed under our feet who are violent against us.
