When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

Of David. To You, O LORD, I call; be not deaf to me, O my Rock. For if You remain silent, I will be like those descending to the Pit.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Blessed be the LORD, for He has heard my cry for mercy.

A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”

You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends—they flee when they see me on the street.

For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.

My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.

I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.

Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.

Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”

May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.

For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.

Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.

All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”

They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.

Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.

I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.

How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.

Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.

May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.

May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”

Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
