…that we have heard and known and our fathers have relayed to us.

A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

…for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

…the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.

Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.

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

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

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

For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol.

The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life; they have no regard for You.

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.

You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.

Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me. Selah

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

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.

Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

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

For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:

You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

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

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 broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.

You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his strongholds to rubble.

You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

You have exalted the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

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

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.

You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

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

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

A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.

You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

Return, O LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on Your servants.

Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

Make us glad for as many days as You have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—my refuge, the Most High—

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”

A Psalm. Sing to the LORD a new song, for He has done wonders; His right hand and holy arm have gained Him the victory.

He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

The mighty King loves justice. You have established equity; You have exercised justice and righteousness in Jacob.

For I have eaten ashes like bread and mixed my drink with tears

…because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come.

The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon that He planted,

How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures.

I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

…they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

…they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

…they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

…they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.

For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.

Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.

I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation.

You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.

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

I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.

Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.

I have chosen the way of truth; I have set Your ordinances before me.

I have chosen the way of truth; I have set Your ordinances before me.

And I will walk in freedom, for I have sought Your precepts.

Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.

The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.

I have sought Your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to Your promise.

Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.

Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.

May those who fear You see me and rejoice, for I have hoped in Your word.

I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

The arrogant have dug pits for me in violation of Your law.
