You

With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

…consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,

Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul—and men praise you when you prosper—

“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.

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.

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”

To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?

For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.

When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.

When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.

You unleash your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.

You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.

You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Surely You desire truth in the inmost being; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones You have crushed rejoice.

Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will return to You.

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

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.

Then You will delight in righteous sacrifices, in whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on Your altar.

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.

You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah

You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.

But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

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.

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.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

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

Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

For You have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

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.

I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

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?

No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.

But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.

But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.

To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!

You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.

You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.

You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow. Selah

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

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

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
