Not

They did not remember His power—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,

He turned their rivers to blood, and from their streams they could not drink.

He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.

But they tested and disobeyed God Most High, for they did not keep His decrees.

His priests fell by the sword, but their widows could not lament.

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.

Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

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

A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?

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.

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

But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.

I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.

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

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

You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?

For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

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

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.”

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

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

He will turn toward the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their prayer.

Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the LORD.

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—

He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

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

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.

So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.

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

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O God of my praise, be not silent.

The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.

It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.

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

I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done.

The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death.

Then I would not be ashamed when I consider all Your commandments.

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

I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

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

I cling to Your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame.

Turn my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetous gain.

I will speak of Your testimonies before kings, and I will not be ashamed.

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.

May my heart be blameless in Your statutes, that I may not be put to shame.

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

They almost wiped me from the earth, but I have not forsaken Your precepts.

If Your law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.

I have not departed from Your ordinances, for You Yourself have taught me.

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

The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts.

Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope.

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.

My eyes shed streams of tears because Your law is not obeyed.

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

Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.

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

Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.

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

I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

…if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.

…many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

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.
