A word for word rendering of Psalm 98 ESV

“Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭109:1-20 ‭ESV‬‬

“Be not silent, O God of my praise! For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer. So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin! May his days be few; may another take his office! May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow! May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit! May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil! Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children! May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation! May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out! Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth! For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death. He loved to curse; let curses come upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him! He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones! May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day! May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, of those who speak evil against my life!”

The Righteous Will Never Be Moved 
1 [a] Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,     who greatly delights in his commandments!
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land;     the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,     and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;     he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;     who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will never be moved;     he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;     his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady;[b] he will not be afraid,     until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;     his righteousness endures forever;     his horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;     he gnashes his teeth and melts away;     the desire of the wicked will perish!

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;     for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let Israel say,     “His steadfast love endures forever.”
3 Let the house of Aaron say,     “His steadfast love endures forever.”
4 Let those who fear the Lord say,     “His steadfast love endures forever.”
5 Out of my distress I called on the Lord;     the Lord answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.     What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is on my side as my helper;     I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord     than to trust in princes.
10 All nations surrounded me;     in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
11 They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;     in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
12 They surrounded me like bees;     they went out like a fire among thorns;     in the name of the Lord I cut them off!
13 I was pushed hard,[a] so that I was falling,     but the Lord helped me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song;     he has become my salvation.
15 Glad songs of salvation     are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the Lord does valiantly,
16 the right hand of the Lord exalts,     the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!”
17 I shall not die, but I shall live,     and recount the deeds of the Lord.
18 The Lord has disciplined me severely,     but he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness,     that I may enter through them     and give thanks to the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;     the righteous shall enter through it.
21 I thank you that you have answered me     and have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected     has become the cornerstone.[b]
23 This is the Lord's doing;     it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day that the Lord has made;     let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save us, we pray, O Lord!     O Lord, we pray, give us success!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!     We bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 The Lord is God,     and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,     up to the horns of the altar!
28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;     you are my God; I will extol you.
29 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;     for his steadfast love endures forever!

Give Ear to My Voice

A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, I call upon you; hasten to me!     Give ear to my voice when I call to you!
2 Let my prayer be counted as incense before you,     and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice!
3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;     keep watch over the door of my lips!
4 Do not let my heart incline to any evil,     to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity,     and let me not eat of their delicacies!
5 Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;     let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;     let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
6 When their judges are thrown over the cliff,     then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the earth,     so shall our bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
8 But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;     in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!
9 Keep me from the trap that they have laid for me     and from the snares of evildoers!

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,     whose hope is in the Lord his God,

7 who executes justice for the oppressed,     who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;     the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the sojourners;     he upholds the widow and the fatherless,     but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
10 The Lord will reign forever,     your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the Lord!

He Heals the Brokenhearted
 
1 Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God;     for it is pleasant,and a song of praise is fitting.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem;     he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted     and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars;     he gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;     his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The Lord lifts up the humble;     he casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving;     make melody to our God on the lyre!
8 He covers the heavens with clouds;     he prepares rain for the earth;     he makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He gives to the beasts their food,     and to the young ravens that cry.
10 His delight is not in the strength of the horse,     nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,
11 but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,     in those who hope in his steadfast love.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem!     Praise your God, O Zion!
13 For he strengthens the bars of your gates;     he blesses your children within you.
14 He makes peace in your borders;     he fills you with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sends out his command to the earth;     his word runs swiftly.
16 He gives snow like wool;     he scatters frost like ashes.
17 He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs;     who can stand before his cold?
18 He sends out his word, and melts them;     he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.
19 He declares his word to Jacob,     his statutes and rules to Israel.
20 He has not dealt thus with any other nation;     they do not know his rules. Praise the Lord!

Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up     and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,     and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;     you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,     and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,     and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night,     but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,     “I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,     you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face;     I was dismayed.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,     and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,     if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you?     Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!     O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;     you have loosed my sackcloth     and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.     O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame;     in your righteousness deliver me!
2 Incline your ear to me;     rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me,     a strong fortress to save me!
3 For you are my rock and my fortress;     and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
4 you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,     for you are my refuge.
5 Into your hand I commit my spirit;     you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
6 I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,     but I trust in the Lord.
7 I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,     because you have seen my affliction;     you have known the distress of my soul,
8 and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy;     you have set my feet in a broad place.
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;     my eye is wasted from grief;     my soul and my body also.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow,     and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity,     and my bones waste away.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,     especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances;     those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead;     I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the whispering of many—     terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me,     as they plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in you, O Lord;     I say, “You are my God.”
15 My times are in your hand;     rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16 Make your face shine on your servant;     save me in your steadfast love!
17 O Lord, let me not be put to shame,     for I call upon you; let the wicked be put to shame;     let them go silently to Sheol.
18 Let the lying lips be mute,     which speak insolently against the righteous     in pride and contempt.
19 Oh, how abundant is your goodness,     which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you,     in the sight of the children of mankind!
20 In the cover of your presence you hide them     from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter     from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord,     for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me     when I was in a besieged city.
22 I had said in my alarm,     “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy     when I cried to you for help.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints!     The Lord preserves the faithful     but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage,     all you who wait for the Lord!

Blessed Are the Forgiven
A Maskil of David.

1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,     whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,     and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away     through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;     my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,     and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”     and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly     offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters,     they shall not reach him.
7 You are a hiding place for me;     you preserve me from trouble;     you surround me with shouts of deliverance.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;     I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,     which must be curbed with bit and bridle,     or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,     but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,     and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

The Steadfast Love of the Lord

1 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!     Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;     make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new song;     play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright,     and all his work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;     the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,     and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;     he puts the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;     let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;     he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;     he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,     the plans of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,     the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13 The Lord looks down from heaven;     he sees all the children of man;
14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out     on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all     and observes all their deeds.
16 The king is not saved by his great army;     a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,     and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,     on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may deliver their soul from death     and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;     he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart is glad in him,     because we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,     even as we hope in you.

Great Is the Lord
Of David.

11 Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good;  my soul is bereft.
13 But I, when they were sick— I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest.
14 I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing;
16 like profane mockers at a feast, they gnash at me with their teeth.
17 How long, O Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from the lions!
18 I will thank you in the great congregation;in the mighty throng I will praise you.
19 Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
20 For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they devise words of deceit.
21 They open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Aha, Aha! Our eyes have seen it!”
22 You have seen, O LORD; be not silent! O Lord, be not far from me!
23 Awake and rouse yourself for my vindication, for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me, O LORD, my God, according to your righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me! 
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, our heart’s desire!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let them be put to shame and disappointed altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me!
27 Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, “Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!”
28 Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.

How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love
To the choirmaster. Of David, the servant of the LORD.

1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. 2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. 3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. 4 He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.
5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD.
7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. 9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
10 Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! 11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. 12 There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.

He Will Not Forsake His Saints.
Of David.

1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! 2 For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. 9 For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. 11 But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
12 The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright; 15 their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
18 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;

Psalm 37:19-40 ESV

He Will Not Forsake His Saints.
Of David.

19 They are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.
20 But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;
22 for those blessed by the LORD shall inherit the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way;
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
26 He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.
27 Turn away from evil and do good; so shall you dwell forever.
28 For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
32 The wicked watches for the righteous and seeks to put him to death.
33 The LORD will not abandon him to his power or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; you will look on when the wicked are cut off.
35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

Psalm 38 ESV

Do Not Forsake Me, O LORD. A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath!
2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and fester because of my foolishness,
6 I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.
7 For my sides are filled with burning, and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.
9 O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.
10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.
12 Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.
13 But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear, like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
15 But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16 For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!”
17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.
18 I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.
19 But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
20 Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD! O my God, be not far from me!
22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!

What Is the Measure of My Days?
To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.

1 I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.”
2 I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse.
3 My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am!
5 Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah
6 Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!
7 “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool!
9 I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it.
10 Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand.
11 When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
12 “Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers.
13 Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!”

My Help and My Deliverer
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
5 You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
6 In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
11 As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!
12 For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!
14 Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the LORD!”
17 As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!

O LORD, Be Gracious to Me
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him;
2 the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
3 The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.
4 As for me, I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you!”
5 My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”
6 And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad.
7 All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me.
8 They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.”
9 Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.
10 But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them!
11 By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.
12 But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever.
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.

Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.

1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
6 and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.
8 By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
9 I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Come to Our Help
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of the Sons of Korah.

1 O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, what deeds you performed in their days, in the days of old:
2 you with your own hand drove out the nations, but them you planted; you afflicted the peoples, but them you set free;
3 for not by their own sword did they win the land, nor did their own arm save them, but your right hand and your arm and the light of your face, for you delighted in them.
4 You are my King, O God; ordain salvation for Jacob!
5 Through you we push down our foes; through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.
6 For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our foes and have put to shame those who hate us.
8 In God we have boasted continually, and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah
9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies.
10 You have made us turn back from the foe, and those who hate us have gotten spoil.
11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter and have scattered us among the nations.
12 You have sold your people for a trifle, demanding no high price for them.
13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us.
14 You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face
16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.
17 All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten you, and we have not been false to your covenant.
18 Our heart has not turned back, nor have our steps departed from your way;
19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals and covered us with the shadow of death.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever!
24 Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly clings to the ground.
26 Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!

2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men; grace is poured upon your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one, in your splendor and majesty!
4 In your majesty ride out victoriously for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness; let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; the peoples fall under you.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;
7 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;
8 your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad.
