Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,

…the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

…the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

…of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.

Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

…who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

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

May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.

Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.

The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.

A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.

All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.

You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.

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

In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him.

The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.

They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.

For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our horn is exalted.

Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.

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

My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.

My faithfulness and loving devotion will be with him, and through My name his horn will be exalted.

I will set his hand over the sea, and his right hand upon the rivers.

I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments,

…if they violate My statutes and fail to keep My commandments,

I will attend to their transgression with the rod, and to their iniquity with stripes.

Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness—I will not lie to David—

…his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,

Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.

You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.

You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.

You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

…how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!

Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.

Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong—yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

Satisfy us in the morning with Your loving devotion, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.

I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

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

You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

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

With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

…to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

…with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
