Many say about me,
“There is no help for him in God.”Selah

But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them shout for joy forever.
May You shelter them,
and may those who love Your name boast about You.

I will thank the Lord for His righteousness;
I will sing about the name of Yahweh the Most High.

I will rejoice and boast about You;
I will sing about Your name, Most High.

For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;
the one who is greedy curses and despises the Lord.

Therefore I will praise You, Yahweh, among the nations;
I will sing about Your name.

Their descendants will serve Him;
the next generation will be told about the Lord.

They will come and tell a people yet to be born
about His righteousness—
what He has done.

raising my voice in thanksgiving
and telling about Your wonderful works.

Malicious witnesses come forward;
they question me about things I do not know.

I went about grieving as if for my friend or brother;
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.

For I am about to fall,
and my pain is constantly with me.

“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow.
Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain,
gathering possessions
without knowing who will get them.

Then I said, “See, I have come;
it is written about me in the volume of the scroll.

I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart;
I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation;
I did not conceal Your constant love and truth
from the great assembly.

My enemies speak maliciously about me:
“When will he die and be forgotten?”

All who hate me whisper together about me;
they plan to harm me.

I will say to God, my rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?”

For You are the God of my refuge.
Why have You rejected me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?

For the choir director. A Davidic Maskil. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”Why brag about evil, you hero!
God’s faithful love is constant.

They encourage each other in an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”

Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what He has done.

Those who sit at the city gate talk about me,
and drunkards make up songs about me.

For they persecute the one You struck
and talk about the pain of those You wounded.

I have leaned on You from birth;
You took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is always about You.

For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,

My mouth will tell about Your righteousness
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.

But as for me, God’s presence is my good.
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
so I can tell about all You do.

For the choir director: “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm of Asaph. A song.We give thanks to You, God;
we give thanks to You, for Your name is near.
People tell about Your wonderful works.

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

Glorious things are said about you,
city of God.Selah

A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.I will sing about the Lord’s faithful love forever;
I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations
with my mouth.

There the ships move about,
and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.

Sing to Him, sing praise to Him;
tell about all His wonderful works!

so that I may enjoy the prosperity
of Your chosen ones,
rejoice in the joy of Your nation,
and boast about Your heritage.

Then I would not be ashamed
when I think about all Your commands.

I will meditate on Your precepts
and think about Your ways.

Though princes sit together speaking against me,
Your servant will think about Your statutes;

I told You about my life,
and You listened to me;
teach me Your statutes.

I thought about my ways
and turned my steps back to Your decrees.

My tongue sings about Your promise,
for all Your commands are righteous.

Before a word is on my tongue,
You know all about it, Lord.

Look to the right and see:
no one stands up for me;
there is no refuge for me;
no one cares about me.
