You cleared a place for it;
it took root and filled the land.

The mountains were covered by its shade,
and the mighty cedars with its branches.

It sent out sprouts toward the Sea
and shoots toward the River.

The boar from the forest tears it
and creatures of the field feed on it.

Return, God of Hosts.
Look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,

It was cut down and burned up;
they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Then we will not turn away from You;
revive us, and we will call on Your name.

Restore us, Yahweh, the God of Hosts;
look on us with favor, and we will be saved.

Lift up a song—play the tambourine,
the melodious lyre, and the harp.

Blow the horn on the day of our feasts
during the new moon
and during the full moon.

You called out in distress, and I rescued you;
I answered you from the thundercloud.
I tested you at the waters of Meribah.Selah

Listen, My people, and I will admonish you.
Israel, if you would only listen to Me!

I am Yahweh your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

If only My people would listen to Me
and Israel would follow My ways,

I would quickly subdue their enemies
and turn My hand against their foes.”

“How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked?Selah

Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.”

However, you will die like men
and fall like any other ruler.”

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

Deal with them as You did with Midian,
as You did with Sisera
and Jabin at the Kishon River.

so pursue them with Your tempest
and terrify them with Your storm.

Let them be put to shame and terrified forever;
let them perish in disgrace.

Return to us, God of our salvation,
and abandon Your displeasure with us.

Show us Your faithful love, Lord,
and give us Your salvation.

I will listen to what God will say;
surely the Lord will declare peace
to His people, His godly ones,
and not let them go back to foolish ways.

Truth will spring up from the earth,
and righteousness will look down from heaven.

Also, the Lord will provide what is good,
and our land will yield its crops.

For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,
rich in faithful love to all who call on You.

Lord, there is no one like You among the gods,
and there are no works like Yours.

For You are great and perform wonders;
You alone are God.

Teach me Your way, Yahweh,
and I will live by Your truth.
Give me an undivided mind to fear Your name.

I will praise You with all my heart, Lord my God,
and will honor Your name forever.

For Your faithful love for me is great,
and You deliver my life from the depths of Sheol.

Turn to me and be gracious to me.
Give Your strength to Your servant;
save the son of Your female servant.

“I will mention those who know Me:
Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush—
each one was born there.”

Singers and dancers alike will say,
“My whole source of joy is in you.”

A song. A psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choir director: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.Lord, God of my salvation,
I cry out before You day and night.

For I have had enough troubles,
and my life is near Sheol.

abandoned among the dead.
I am like the slain lying in the grave,
whom You no longer remember,
and who are cut off from Your care.

You have distanced my friends from me;
You have made me repulsive to them.
I am shut in and cannot go out.

From my youth,
I have been afflicted and near death.
I suffer Your horrors; I am desperate.

You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me;
darkness is my only friend.

‘I will establish your offspring forever
and build up your throne for all generations.’”Selah

The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours.
The world and everything in it—You founded them.

They rejoice in Your name all day long,
and they are exalted by Your righteousness.

You once spoke in a vision to Your loyal ones
and said: “I have granted help to a warrior;
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

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

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

I will extend his power to the sea
and his right hand to the rivers.

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

If his sons forsake My instruction
and do not live by My ordinances,

if they dishonor My statutes
and do not keep My commands,

Once and for all
I have sworn an oath by My holiness;
I will not lie to David.

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

You have also turned back his sharp sword
and have not let him stand in battle.

You have made his splendor cease
and have overturned his throne.

What man can live and never see death?
Who can save himself from the power of Sheol?Selah

May the Lord be praised forever.
Amen and amen.

Before the mountains were born,
before You gave birth to the earth and the world,
from eternity to eternity, You are God.

Lord—how long?
Turn and have compassion on Your servants.

Satisfy us in the morning with Your faithful love
so that we may shout with joy and be glad all our days.

Let Your work be seen by Your servants,
and Your splendor by their children.

I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Though a thousand fall at your side
and ten thousand at your right hand,
the pestilence will not reach you.

You will only see it with your eyes
and witness the punishment of the wicked.

When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and give him honor.

I will satisfy him with a long life
and show him My salvation.

to declare Your faithful love in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night,

with a ten-stringed harp
and the music of a lyre.

though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.

The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,

to declare: “The Lord is just;
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

Lord, happy is the man You discipline
and teach from Your law

for justice will again be righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.

He will pay them back for their sins
and destroy them for their evil.
The Lord our God will destroy them.

The depths of the earth are in His hand,
and the mountain peaks are His.

Come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture,
the sheep under His care.

Today, if you hear His voice:

For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
He is feared above all gods.

Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
bring an offering and enter His courts.

Let the fields and everything in them exult.
Then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy

before the Lord, for He is coming—
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with His faithfulness.

The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice;
let the many coasts and islands be glad.

Fire goes before Him
and burns up His foes on every side.

His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,
and praise His holy name.

A psalm.Sing a new song to the Lord,
for He has performed wonders;
His right hand and holy arm
have won Him victory.

He has remembered His love
and faithfulness to the house of Israel;
all the ends of the earth
have seen our God’s victory.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
be jubilant, shout for joy, and sing.

Sing to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.

With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn
shout triumphantly
in the presence of the Lord, our King.

before the Lord,
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world righteously
and the peoples fairly.

Let them praise Your great
and awe-inspiring name.
He is holy.

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
You have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.

He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;
they kept His decrees and the statutes He gave them.

Acknowledge that Yahweh is God.
He made us, and we are His —
His people, the sheep of His pasture.

For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal;
His faithfulness endures through all generations.
