Not

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

For the choirmaster. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will watch my ways so that I will not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are present.”

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of fools.

I have become mute; I do not open my mouth because of what You have done.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. For I am a foreigner dwelling with You, a stranger like all my fathers.

Blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, who has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but my ears You have opened. Burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not require.

I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O LORD, do know.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

O LORD, do not withhold Your mercy from me; Your loving devotion and faithfulness will always guard me.

But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.

All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.

Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.

…would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?

Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,

God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.

…that he should live on forever and not see decay.

Do not be afraid when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.

For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.

Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.

Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

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

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

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

For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

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.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

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

You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle—are they not in Your book?

…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, 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.

They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.

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

He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will not be shaken.

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

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

Blessed be God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld from me His loving devotion!

Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me—my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

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.

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

Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.

May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.

For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.

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.

Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.

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.

They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.

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.’”

In the day of trouble I sought the Lord; through the night my outstretched hands did not grow weary; my soul refused to be comforted.

Your path led through the sea, Your way through the mighty waters, but Your footprints were not to be found.

We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.

…that they should put their confidence in God, not forgetting His works, but keeping His commandments.

Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

…because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.

In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.

And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.

And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.

He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
