There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Let him turn back the mischief upon mine adversaries, In thy faithfulness, destroy them!

For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

{To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.

As a green thorn kindled with fire goeth out before your pots be made hot; even so, let a furious rage bring him to nought.

so that men shall say, "Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth." For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.

{To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.} Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

{To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.} Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.

How long will ye set upon a man, That ye may slay him , all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

O the happiness of him whom Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.

Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.

He turned the sea into dry land: they went through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.

He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don't let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song of David.} Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

Those who are without friends, God puts in families; he makes free those who are in chains; but those who are turned away from him are given a dry land.

Why hop ye so, ye high hills? This is God's hill, in the which it pleaseth him to dwell. Yea, the LORD will abide in it forever.

Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.

So that thy foot shall shake in blood, the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies of him.

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

The humble have seen it and are glad;
You who seek God [requiring Him as your greatest need], let your heart revive and live.

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who are loyal to him will live in it.

My God, deliver me from the hand of the unjust one, from the hand of him transgressing, and the violent one.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

May he judge Your people with righteousness,
And Your afflicted with justice.

May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

Let him come down, Like rain on fields to be mown, Like myriad drops on land to be reaped.

So let him have dominion, From sea to sea, And from the River unto the ends of the earth;

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised.

His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

As the dream of him that waketh, O my Lord! when rousing thyself up, their shadowy being, wilt thou despise.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him,
That I may tell of all Your works.

Why do you remain inactive? Intervene and destroy him!

Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

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

By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.

Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

He humbles princes; the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.

My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

In the time of my trouble I sought the LORD, I held up mine hands to him in the night season, for my soul refused all other comfort.

I said, "I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me." (Selah)

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

Because they did not believe in God [they did not rely on Him, they did not adhere to Him],
And they did not trust in His salvation (His power to save).

In spite of all this they still sinned,
For they did not believe in His wonderful and extraordinary works.

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

He set him a testimony in Joseph in his going forth upon the land of Egypt: I shall hear a lip I knew not

And I will send him forth in the hardnesses of their heart: they shall go in their counsels.

The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And with honey from a rock I satisfy thee!

Happy the man strength to him in thee; the raised ways in their heart;

O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king.

I will hear [with expectant hope] what God the Lord will say,
For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones—
But let them not turn again to folly.

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

Once You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones,
And said, “I have given help to one who is mighty [giving him the power to be a champion for Israel];
I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

I will give him an eternal dynasty, and make his throne as enduring as the skies above.

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

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