1
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer!
2
In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge,
3
for you are my protector, my strong defense against my enemies.
4
Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings.
5
You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honor you.
6
Add many years to the king's life; let him live on and on!
7
May he rule forever in your presence, O God; protect him with your constant love and faithfulness.
8
So I will always sing praises to you, as I offer you daily what I have promised.
1
I wait patiently for God to save me; I depend on him alone.
2
He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.
3
How much longer will all of you attack someone who is no stronger than a broken-down fence?
4
You only want to bring him down from his place of honor; you take pleasure in lies. You speak words of blessing, but in your heart you curse him.
5
I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him.
6
He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated.
7
My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter.
8
Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.
9
Human beings are all like a puff of breath; great and small alike are worthless. Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing; they are lighter than a mere breath.
10
Don't put your trust in violence; don't hope to gain anything by robbery; even if your riches increase, don't depend on them.
11
More than once I have heard God say that power belongs to him
12
and that his love is constant. You yourself, O Lord, reward everyone according to their deeds.
1
O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.
2
Let me see you in the sanctuary; let me see how mighty and glorious you are.
3
Your constant love is better than life itself, and so I will praise you.
4
I will give you thanks as long as I live; I will raise my hands to you in prayer.
5
My soul will feast and be satisfied, and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.
6
As I lie in bed, I remember you; all night long I think of you,
7
because you have always been my help. In the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8
I cling to you, and your hand keeps me safe.
9
Those who are trying to kill me will go down into the world of the dead.
10
They will be killed in battle, and their bodies eaten by wolves.
11
Because God gives him victory, the king will rejoice. Those who make promises in God's name will praise him, but the mouths of liars will be shut.
1
I am in trouble, God---listen to my prayer! I am afraid of my enemies---save my life!
2
Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from mobs of evil people.
3
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like arrows.
4
They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.
5
They encourage each other in their evil plots; they talk about where they will place their traps. "No one can see them," they say.
6
They make evil plans and say, "We have planned a perfect crime." The human heart and mind are a mystery.
7
But God shoots his arrows at them, and suddenly they are wounded.
8
He will destroy them because of those words; all who see them will shake their heads.
9
They will all be afraid; they will think about what God has done and tell about his deeds.
10
All righteous people will rejoice because of what the LORD has done. They will find safety in him; all good people will praise him.
1
O God, it is right for us to praise you in Zion and keep our promises to you,
2
because you answer prayers. People everywhere will come to you
3
on account of their sins. Our faults defeat us, but you forgive them.
4
Happy are those whom you choose, whom you bring to live in your sanctuary. We shall be satisfied with the good things of your house, the blessings of your sacred Temple.
5
You answer us by giving us victory, and you do wonderful things to save us. People all over the world and across the distant seas trust in you.
6
You set the mountains in place by your strength, showing your mighty power.
7
You calm the roar of the seas and the noise of the waves; you calm the uproar of the peoples.
8
The whole world stands in awe of the great things that you have done. Your deeds bring shouts of joy from one end of the earth to the other.
9
You show your care for the land by sending rain; you make it rich and fertile. You fill the streams with water; you provide the earth with crops. This is how you do it:
10
you send abundant rain on the plowed fields and soak them with water; you soften the soil with showers and cause the young plants to grow.
11
What a rich harvest your goodness provides! Wherever you go there is plenty.
12
The pastures are filled with flocks; the hillsides are full of joy.
13
The fields are covered with sheep; the valleys are full of wheat. Everything shouts and sings for joy.
