1
Be merciful to me, O God, because I am under attack; my enemies persecute me all the time.
2
All day long my opponents attack me. There are so many who fight against me.
3
When I am afraid, O LORD Almighty, I put my trust in you.
4
I trust in God and am not afraid; I praise him for what he has promised. What can a mere human being do to me?
5
My enemies make trouble for me all day long; they are always thinking up some way to hurt me!
6
They gather in hiding places and watch everything I do, hoping to kill me.
7
Punish them, O God, for their evil; defeat those people in your anger!
8
You know how troubled I am; you have kept a record of my tears. Aren't they listed in your book?
9
The day I call to you, my enemies will be turned back. I know this: God is on my side---
10
the LORD, whose promises I praise.
11
In him I trust, and I will not be afraid. What can a mere human being do to me?
12
O God, I will offer you what I have promised; I will give you my offering of thanksgiving,
13
because you have rescued me from death and kept me from defeat. And so I walk in the presence of God, in the light that shines on the living.
1
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful, because I come to you for safety. In the shadow of your wings I find protection until the raging storms are over.
2
I call to God, the Most High, to God, who supplies my every need.
3
He will answer from heaven and save me; he will defeat my oppressors. God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.
4
I am surrounded by enemies, who are like lions hungry for human flesh. Their teeth are like spears and arrows; their tongues are like sharp swords.
5
Show your greatness in the sky, O God, and your glory over all the earth.
6
My enemies have spread a net to catch me; I am overcome with distress. They dug a pit in my path, but fell into it themselves.
7
I have complete confidence, O God; I will sing and praise you!
8
Wake up, my soul! Wake up, my harp and lyre! I will wake up the sun.
9
I will thank you, O Lord, among the nations. I will praise you among the peoples.
10
Your constant love reaches the heavens; your faithfulness touches the skies.
11
Show your greatness in the sky, O God, and your glory over all the earth.
1
Do you rulers ever give a just decision? Do you judge everyone fairly?
2
No! You think only of the evil you can do, and commit crimes of violence in the land.
3
Evildoers go wrong all their lives; they tell lies from the day they are born.
4
They are full of poison like snakes; they stop up their ears like a deaf cobra,
5
which does not hear the voice of the snake charmer, or the chant of the clever magician.
6
Break the teeth of these fierce lions, O God.
7
May they disappear like water draining away; may they be crushed like weeds on a path.
8
May they be like snails that dissolve into slime; may they be like a baby born dead that never sees the light.
9
Before they know it, they are cut down like weeds; in his fierce anger God will blow them away while they are still living.
10
The righteous will be glad when they see sinners punished; they will wade through the blood of the wicked.
11
People will say, "The righteous are indeed rewarded; there is indeed a God who judges the world."
1
Save me from my enemies, my God; protect me from those who attack me!
2
Save me from those evil people; rescue me from those murderers!
3
Look! They are waiting to kill me; cruel people are gathering against me. It is not because of any sin or wrong I have done,
4
nor because of any fault of mine, O LORD, that they hurry to their places.
5
Rise, LORD God Almighty, and come to my aid; see for yourself, God of Israel! Wake up and punish the heathen; show no mercy to evil traitors!
6
They come back in the evening, snarling like dogs as they go about the city.
7
Listen to their insults and threats. Their tongues are like swords in their mouths, yet they think that no one hears them.
8
But you laugh at them, LORD; you mock all the heathen.
9
I have confidence in your strength; you are my refuge, O God.
10
My God loves me and will come to me; he will let me see my enemies defeated.
11
Do not kill them, O God, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your strength and defeat them, O Lord, our protector.
12
Sin is on their lips; all their words are sinful; may they be caught in their pride! Because they curse and lie,
13
destroy them in your anger; destroy them completely. Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel, that his rule extends over all the earth.
14
My enemies come back in the evening, snarling like dogs as they go about the city,
15
like dogs roaming about for food and growling if they do not find enough.
16
But I will sing about your strength; every morning I will sing aloud of your constant love. You have been a refuge for me, a shelter in my time of trouble.
17
I will praise you, my defender. My refuge is God, the God who loves me.
1
You have rejected us, God, and defeated us; you have been angry with us---but now turn back to us.
2
You have made the land tremble, and you have cut it open; now heal its wounds, because it is falling apart.
3
You have made your people suffer greatly; we stagger around as though we were drunk.
4
You have warned those who have reverence for you, so that they might escape destruction.
5
Save us by your might; answer our prayer, so that the people you love may be rescued.
6
From his sanctuary God has said, "In triumph I will divide Shechem and distribute Sukkoth Valley to my people.
7
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh too; Ephraim is my helmet and Judah my royal scepter.
8
But I will use Moab as my washbowl, and I will throw my sandals on Edom, as a sign that I own it. Did the Philistines think they would shout in triumph over me?"
9
Who, O God, will take me into the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10
Have you really rejected us? Aren't you going to march out with our armies?
11
Help us against the enemy; human help is worthless.
12
With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.
