1
By the rivers of Babylon we sat down; there we wept when we remembered Zion.
2
On the willows near by we hung up our harps.
3
Those who captured us told us to sing; they told us to entertain them: "Sing us a song about Zion."
4
How can we sing a song to the LORD in a foreign land?
5
May I never be able to play the harp again if I forget you, Jerusalem!
6
May I never be able to sing again if I do not remember you, if I do not think of you as my greatest joy!
7
Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did the day Jerusalem was captured. Remember how they kept saying, "Tear it down to the ground!"
8
Babylon, you will be destroyed. Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us---
9
who take your babies and smash them against a rock.
1
I thank you, LORD, with all my heart; I sing praise to you before the gods.
2
I face your holy Temple, bow down, and praise your name because of your constant love and faithfulness, because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.
3
You answered me when I called to you; with your strength you strengthened me.
4
All the kings in the world will praise you, LORD, because they have heard your promises.
5
They will sing about what you have done and about your great glory.
6
Even though you are so high above, you care for the lowly, and the proud cannot hide from you.
7
When I am surrounded by troubles, you keep me safe. You oppose my angry enemies and save me by your power.
8
You will do everything you have promised; LORD, your love is eternal. Complete the work that you have begun.
1
LORD, you have examined me and you know me.
2
You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts.
3
You see me, whether I am working or resting; you know all my actions.
4
Even before I speak, you already know what I will say.
5
You are all around me on every side; you protect me with your power.
6
Your knowledge of me is too deep; it is beyond my understanding.
7
Where could I go to escape from you? Where could I get away from your presence?
8
If I went up to heaven, you would be there; if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there.
9
If I flew away beyond the east or lived in the farthest place in the west,
10
you would be there to lead me, you would be there to help me.
11
I could ask the darkness to hide me or the light around me to turn into night,
12
but even darkness is not dark for you, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you.
13
You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb.
14
I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart.
15
When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there---
16
you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in your book, before any of them ever began.
17
O God, how difficult I find your thoughts; how many of them there are!
18
If I counted them, they would be more than the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19
O God, how I wish you would kill the wicked! How I wish violent people would leave me alone!
20
They say wicked things about you; they speak evil things against your name.
21
O LORD, how I hate those who hate you! How I despise those who rebel against you!
22
I hate them with a total hatred; I regard them as my enemies.
23
Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover my thoughts.
24
Find out if there is any evil in me and guide me in the everlasting way.
1
Save me, LORD, from evildoers; keep me safe from violent people.
2
They are always plotting evil, always stirring up quarrels.
3
Their tongues are like deadly snakes; their words are like a cobra's poison.
4
Protect me, LORD, from the power of the wicked; keep me safe from violent people who plot my downfall.
5
The proud have set a trap for me; they have laid their snares, and along the path they have set traps to catch me.
6
I say to the LORD, "You are my God." Hear my cry for help, LORD!
7
My Sovereign LORD, my strong defender, you have protected me in battle.
8
LORD, don't give the wicked what they want; don't let their plots succeed.
9
Don't let my enemies be victorious; make their threats against me fall back on them.
10
May red-hot coals fall on them; may they be thrown into a pit and never get out.
11
May those who accuse others falsely not succeed; may evil overtake violent people and destroy them.
12
LORD, I know that you defend the cause of the poor and the rights of the needy.
13
The righteous will praise you indeed; they will live in your presence.
