For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we will see light.

O let there be no end to your loving mercy to those who have knowledge of you, or of your righteousness to the upright in heart.

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

And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.

Make me free from all my sins; do not let me be shamed by the man of evil behaviour.

No longer let your hand be hard on me; I am wasted by the blows of your hand.

Let my prayer come to your ears, O Lord, and give attention to my cry, make an answer to my weeping: for my time here is short before you, and in a little time I will be gone, like all my fathers.

Let your wrath be turned away from me, so that I may be comforted, before I go away from here, and become nothing.

Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

Let those who say to me, Aha, aha! be surprised because of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May the Lord be great.

Though I am poor and in need, the Lord has me in mind; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O my God.

The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.

They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.

Let my soul be overflowing with grief when these things come back to my mind, how I went in company to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the song of those who were keeping the feast.

I will say to God my Rock, Why have you let me go from your memory? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

O send out your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

You let your people go for nothing; your wealth is not increased by their price.

Though you have let us be crushed in the place of jackals, though we are covered with darkest shade.

O daughter, give thought and attention, and let your ear be open; no longer keep in mind your people, and your father's house;

Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.

He will go to the generation of his fathers; he will not see the light again.

Let all my wrongdoing be washed away, and make me clean from evil.

Make me free from sin with hyssop: let me be washed whiter than snow.

Let your face be turned from my wrongdoing, and take away all my sins.

Give me back the joy of your salvation; let a free spirit be my support.

O Lord, let my lips be open, so that my mouth may make clear your praise.

Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

Let my prayer come before you, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

Let the evil works of my haters come back on them again; let them be cut off by your good faith.

Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.

Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;

I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.

Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts.

Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.

By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.

Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.

O God, be lifted up higher than the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

You are my glory; let the instruments of music be awake; I myself will be awake with the dawn.

Be lifted up, O God, higher than the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth.

O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.

Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.

Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.

Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.

The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.

Put them not to death, for so my people will keep the memory of them: let them be sent in all directions by your power; make them low, O Lord our saviour.

Because of the sin of their mouths and the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and for their curses and their deceit,

Put an end to them in your wrath, put an end to them, so that they may not be seen again; let them see that God is ruling in Jacob and to the ends of the earth. (Selah.)

And in the evening let them come back, and make a noise like a dog, and go round the town.

Let them go wandering up and down in search of food, and be there all night if they have not enough.

So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah.)

O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

It is right for you, O God, to have praise in Zion: to you let the offering be made.

To you, O hearer of prayer, let the words of all flesh come.

Who makes the loud voice of the sea quiet, and puts an end to the sound of its waves.

Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah.)

Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;

Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.

You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.

You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.

May God give us mercy and blessing, and let the light of his face be shining on us; (Selah.)

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

O let the nations be glad, and make song of joy; for you will be the judge of the peoples in righteousness, guiding the nations of the earth. (Selah.)

Let the peoples give you praise, O God; let all the peoples give you praise.

God will give us his blessing; so let all the ends of the earth be in fear of him.

Let God be seen, and let his haters be put to flight; let those who are against him be turned back before him.

Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

But let the upright be glad; let them have delight before God; let them be full of joy.

Let not those who have hope in you be put to shame because of me, O Lord God of armies: let not those who are waiting for you be made low because of me, O God of Israel.

But as for me, let my prayer be made to you, O Lord, at a time when you are pleased; O God, give me an answer in your great mercy, for your salvation is certain.

Take me from the grip of the sticky earth, so that I may not go down into it; let me be lifted up from the deep waters.

Let me not be covered by the flowing waters; let not the deep waters go over my head, and let me not be shut up in the underworld.

Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

Let their table before them be for their destruction; let their feasts become a net to take them.

Let their eyes be blind so that they may not see; let their bodies for ever be shaking.

Let your curse come on them; let the heat of your wrath overtake them.

Give their houses to destruction, and let there be no one in their tents.

Let their punishment be increased; let them not come into your righteousness.

Let their names be taken from the book of the living, let them not be numbered with the upright.

But I am poor and full of sorrow; let me be lifted up by your salvation, O Lord.

The poor will see it and be glad: you who are lovers of God, let your hearts have life.

Let the heavens and the earth give praise to him, the seas, and everything moving in them.

Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

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 his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.

Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.
