But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress.

O my strength, I will sing praises to You;
For God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness.

For the choir director; according to Shushan Eduth. A Mikhtam of David, to teach; when he struggled with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
O God, You have rejected us. You have broken us;
You have been angry; O, restore us.

You have made Your people experience hardship;
You have given us wine to drink that makes us stagger.

That Your beloved may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand, and answer us!

“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My scepter.

“Moab is My washbowl;
Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;
Shout loud, O Philistia, because of Me!”

Have not You Yourself, O God, rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

O give us help against the adversary,
For deliverance by man is in vain.

Through God we shall do valiantly,
And it is He who will tread down our adversaries.

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations.

For the choir director; according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.

He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

My soul, wait in silence for God only,
For my hope is from Him.

He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

On God my salvation and my glory rest;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah.

And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord,
For You recompense a man according to his work.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.

So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,

So they will make him stumble;
Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will shake the head.

Iniquities prevail against me;
As for our transgressions, You forgive them.

How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.

By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea;

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

Come and see the works of God,
Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot;
There let us rejoice in Him!

Who keeps us in life
And does not allow our feet to slip.

For You have tried us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.

You brought us into the net;
You laid an oppressive burden upon our loins.

You made men ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.

The earth has yielded its produce;
God, our God, blesses us.

God blesses us,
That all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away;
As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish before God.

Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Lift up a song for Him who rides through the deserts,
Whose name is the Lord, and exult before Him.

A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.

The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands;
The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
The God who is our salvation. Selah.

God is to us a God of deliverances;
And to God the Lord belong escapes from death.

There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them,
The princes of Judah in their throng,
The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel
And His strength is in the skies.

I have sunk in deep mire, and there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

O God, it is You who knows my folly,
And my wrongs are not hidden from You.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;
O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with Your saving truth.

Answer me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;
According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,

By You I have been sustained from my birth;
You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;
My praise is continually of You.

My mouth is filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all day long.

Saying, “God has forsaken him;
Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”

But as for me, I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.

For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens,
You who have done great things;
O God, who is like You?

Let them fear You while the sun endures,
And as long as the moon, throughout all generations.

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And abundance of peace till the moon is no more.

May his name endure forever;
May his name increase as long as the sun shines;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.

A Psalm of Asaph.
Surely God is good to Israel,
To those who are pure in heart!

But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling,
My steps had almost slipped.

For I was envious of the arrogant
As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

For there are no pains in their death,
And their body is fat.

They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like mankind.

Therefore pride is their necklace;
The garment of violence covers them.

They say, “How does God know?
And is there knowledge with the Most High?”

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

But as for me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.

A Maskil of Asaph.
O God, why have You rejected us forever?
Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

It seems as if one had lifted up
His axe in a forest of trees.

They said in their heart, “Let us completely subdue them.”
They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

We do not see our signs;
There is no longer any prophet,
Nor is there any among us who knows how long.

Yet God is my king from of old,
Who works deeds of deliverance in the midst of the earth.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;
You have prepared the light and the sun.

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks,
For Your name is near;
Men declare Your wondrous works.

“When I select an appointed time,
It is I who judge with equity.

“The earth and all who dwell in it melt;
It is I who have firmly set its pillars. Selah.

But God is the Judge;
He puts down one and exalts another.

For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;
It is well mixed, and He pours out of this;
Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song.
God is known in Judah;
His name is great in Israel.

His tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place also is in Zion.

The stouthearted were plundered,
They sank into sleep;
And none of the warriors could use his hands.

Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
Let all who are around Him bring gifts to Him who is to be feared.

He will cut off the spirit of princes;
He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Then I said, “It is my grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?

Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

And not be like their fathers,
A stubborn and rebellious generation,
A generation that did not prepare its heart
And whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then the Lord awoke as if from sleep,
Like a warrior overcome by wine.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and derision to those around us.

Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us;
Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,
For we are brought very low.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name’s sake.

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight,
Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power
And come to save us!

O God, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
