Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
For throughout all generations I will not be in adversity [for nothing bad will happen to me].”

You want to humiliate the oppressed, even though the Lord is their shelter.

He is like a lion that wants to tear its prey to bits, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.

{A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Watch my enemies, for they outnumber me; they hate me and want to harm me.

I have asked the Lord for one thing -- this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord's house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!

Do not turn me over to my enemies, for false witnesses who want to destroy me testify against me.

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Who among you desires life, and wants long life in order to see good?

All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like you? Who delivers the weak from the one who is stronger than he, and the weak and the needy from the one who wants to rob him?"

Don't let them say in their heart, "Aha! That's the way we want it!" Don't let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"

May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation!

Let those who want my vindication
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

Those who seek my life set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.

O Lord, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!

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

May those who are trying to snatch away my life be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us.

Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom.

You do not want a sacrifice, or I would give it;
You are not pleased with a burnt offering.

Look, I want to flee far away; I want to settle down in the wilderness. Interlude

I want to deliver myself quickly from this windstorm and tempest."

Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

I am surrounded by lions; I lie down among those who want to devour me; men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are a sharp sword.

O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, - My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land - dry, and weary for want of water, -

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn't take away.

May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me. By Solomon.

I desperately want to be in the courts of the Lord's temple. My heart and my entire being shout for joy to the living God.

O Lord, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you!

God, arrogant men rise up against me, while a company of ruthless individuals want to kill me. They do not have regard for you.

My knees are weak through fasting; my flesh is dried up for want of fatness.

I am committed to peace, but when I speak, they want to make war.
