And

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

But You, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the One who lifts my head.

To the LORD I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah

I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.

How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah

Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah

Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.

You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.

I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I pray.

In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.

You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Turn, O LORD, and deliver my soul; save me because of Your loving devotion.

I am weary from groaning; all night I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.

All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

…or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

…then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

…then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.

I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

…all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

…all sheep and oxen, and even the beasts of the field,

…the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.

For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.

They are crushed and beaten down; the helpless fall prey to his strength.

He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”

But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.

The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.

…to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

…lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

…who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.

Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.

You have tried my heart; You have visited me in the night. You have tested me and found no evil; I have resolved not to sin with my mouth.

They have tracked us down, and now surround us; their eyes are set to cast us to the ground,

…from such men, O LORD, by Your hand—from men of the world whose portion is in this life. May You fill the bellies of Your treasured ones and satisfy their sons, so they leave their abundance to their children.

For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.

He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.

He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.

He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.

From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced—hailstones and coals of fire.

The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded—hailstones and coals of fire.

He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.

He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.

The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.

And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.

For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.

He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.

You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.

I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.

Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.

The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—

The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—

…the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,

Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.

…it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.
