Do

Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

For You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; You take no pleasure in burnt offerings.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

…in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

He rules forever by His power; His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.

Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.

Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!

Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.

Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.

Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame; may the poor and needy praise Your name.

Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.

For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works.

I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

I say to the proud, ‘Do not boast,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn.

Do not lift up your horn against heaven or speak with an outstretched neck.’”

Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,

Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? Selah

Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

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

…do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

Do not hide Your face from me in my day of distress. Incline Your ear to me; answer me quickly when I call.

I say: “O my God, do not take me in the midst of my days! Your years go on through all generations.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will.

“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.

I will keep Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.

With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me stray from Your commandments.

I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me.

The arrogant utterly deride me, but I do not turn from Your law.

Though the ropes of the wicked bind me, I do not forget Your law.

You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.

Though I am like a wineskin dried up by smoke, I do not forget Your statutes.

I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law.

I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors.

Ensure Your servant’s well-being; do not let the arrogant oppress me.

Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love Your name.

I am lowly and despised, but I do not forget Your precepts.

Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes.

I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.

A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me. O LORD, Your loving devotion endures forever—do not abandon the works of Your hands.

Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?

Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted. Selah

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.

Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.

Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.

My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.

…my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke;

My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD, and do not loathe His rebuke;

My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment.

Do not fear sudden danger or the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

Do not withhold good from the deserving when it is within your power to act.

Do not tell your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I will provide”—when you already have the means.

Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he trustfully dwells beside you.

Do not accuse a man without cause, when he has done you no harm.

Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways;

For I give you sound teaching; do not abandon my directive.

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn from them.

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will guard you.

Hold on to instruction; do not let go. Guard it, for it is your life.

Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.

Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by.
