Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

And as for my tongue, it shall be talking of thy righteousness and of thy praise, all the day long.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated.

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, - And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.

Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, or the hand of the evil-doers put me out of my place.

To David. Thou shalt not be angry at those doing evil, and thou shalt not envy those working iniquity.

Trust in the Lord and do what is good;
dwell in the land and live securely.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy judgment as noon-day.

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.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

They will not be ashamed when hard times come; when famine comes they will have enough to eat.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

Surely those favored by the Lord will possess the land, but those rejected by him will be wiped out.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Turn away from evil and do what is good,
and dwell there forever.

For the Lord promotes justice, and never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the children of evil men are wiped out.

The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on it.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom;
his tongue speaks what is just.

The wicked lies in wait for the righteous
And seeks to kill him.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

I have seen [the] wicked acting violently and spreading himself out like a luxuriant native tree.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Observe [the] blameless and look at [the] upright, for [there is] a future for a man of peace.

As for the transgressors, they shall perish together; and the ungodly shall be rooted out at the last.

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.

I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out];
I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,
and my relatives stand at a distance.

Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.

And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good.

For the music director, Jeduthun; a psalm of David. I decided, "I will watch what I say and make sure I do not sin with my tongue. I will put a muzzle over my mouth while in the presence of an evil man."

I held my tongue; I was dumb. I kept silence, yea even from good words, but it was pain and grief to me.

My heart within me became incensed; as I thought about it, the fire burned. Then I spoke out:

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

“With rebukes You discipline man for sin;
You consume like a moth what is precious to him;
Surely every man is a mere breath [a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes]. Selah.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

I want to do what pleases you, my God. Your law dominates my thoughts."

For unnumbered evils are round about me; my sins have overtaken me, so that I am bent down with their weight; they are more than the hairs of my head, my strength is gone because of them.

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

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

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

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting [from this age to the next, and forever].
Amen and Amen (so be it).

My tears have been my food day and night, While it hath been said unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

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

Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

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.

O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

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.

{To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.} We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

For our fathers did not possess the land [of Canaan] by their own sword,
Nor did their own arm save them,
But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,
Because You favored and delighted in them.

By thee, will we thrust at, our adversaries, In thy Name, will we tread down our assailants;

For I will not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that shall help me.

But it is you who have been our saviour from those who were against us, and have put to shame those who had hate for us.

Our pride is in God at all times, to his name we give praise for ever. (Selah.)

But now You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor,
And You do not go out with our armies [to lead us to victory].

Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:

You sold out your people for nothing, and made no profit at that price.

You have made us to be looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and shamed by those who are round about us.

You made us an object lesson among the nations; people shake their heads at us.

Because of the voice of the taunter and reviler,
Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Our hearts have not gone back, and our steps have not been turned out of your way;

Yet you have battered us, leaving us a heap of ruins overrun by wild dogs; you have covered us with darkness.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yet because of you we are killed all day long; we are treated like sheep at the slaughtering block.

For our souls are crushed down to the dust: our bodies are stretched out on the earth.

{To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction; a song of the Beloved.} My heart is welling forth with a good matter: I say what I have composed touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

You are [the most] handsome of [the] sons of humankind; grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.

Mighty warrior, strap your sword at your side.
In your majesty and splendor—

Appear in your majesty and be victorious! Ride forth for the sake of what is right, on behalf of justice! Then your right hand will accomplish mighty acts!

Your arrows are sharp and penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. Nations fall at your feet.
