3:2 Many say about me,
“God will not deliver him.” 1 (Selah) 2
3:6 I am not afraid 3 of the multitude of people 4
who attack me from all directions. 5
3:8 The Lord delivers; 6
you show favor to your people. 7 (Selah)
6:4 Relent, Lord, rescue me! 8
Deliver me because of your faithfulness! 9
6:8 Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, 10
for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping! 11
7:10 The Exalted God is my shield, 12
the one who delivers the morally upright. 13
7:11 God is a just judge;
he is angry throughout the day. 14
8:8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
and everything that moves through the currents 15 of the seas.
8:9 O Lord, our Lord, 16
how magnificent 17 is your reputation 18 throughout the earth! 19
18:21 For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands; 20
I have not rebelled against my God. 21
18:23 I was innocent before him,
and kept myself from sinning. 22
18:27 For you deliver oppressed 23 people,
but you bring down those who have a proud look. 24
18:31 Indeed, 25 who is God besides the Lord?
Who is a protector 26 besides our God? 27
18:46 The Lord is alive! 28
My protector 29 is praiseworthy! 30
The God who delivers me 31 is exalted as king! 32
18:47 The one true God 33 completely vindicates me; 34
he makes nations submit to me. 35
20:4 May he grant your heart’s desire; 36
may he bring all your plans to pass! 37
20:9 The Lord will deliver the king; 38
he will answer us 39 when we call to him for help! 40
22:3 You are holy;
you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel. 41
22:13 They 42 open their mouths to devour me 43
like a roaring lion that rips its prey. 44
22:19 But you, O Lord, do not remain far away!
You are my source of strength! 45 Hurry and help me! 46
22:20 Deliver me 47 from the sword!
Save 48 my life 49 from the claws 50 of the wild dogs!
34:12 Do you want to really live? 51
Would you love to live a long, happy life? 52
34:13 Then make sure you don’t speak evil words 53
or use deceptive speech! 54
34:14 Turn away from evil and do what is right! 55
Strive for peace and promote it! 56
38:17 For I am about to stumble,
and I am in constant pain. 57
39:7 But now, O Lord, upon what am I relying?
You are my only hope! 58
40:13 Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me!
O Lord, hurry and help me! 59
44:6 For I do not trust in my bow,
and I do not prevail by my sword.
44:20 If we had rejected our God, 60
and spread out our hands in prayer to another god, 61
44:21 would not God discover it,
for he knows 62 one’s thoughts? 63
44:25 For we lie in the dirt,
with our bellies pressed to the ground. 64
44:26 Rise up and help us!
Rescue us 65 because of your loyal love!
45:6 Your throne, 66 O God, is permanent. 67
The scepter 68 of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
45:13 The princess 69 looks absolutely magnificent, 70
decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold. 71
46:8 Come! Witness the exploits 72 of the Lord,
who brings devastation to the earth! 73
47:2 For the sovereign Lord 74 is awe-inspiring; 75
he is the great king who rules the whole earth! 76
47:5 God has ascended his throne 77 amid loud shouts; 78
the Lord has ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram’s horns. 79
47:8 God reigns 80 over the nations!
God sits on his holy throne!
48:9 We reflect on your loyal love, O God,
within your temple.
49:6 They trust 81 in their wealth
and boast 82 in their great riches.
49:12 but, despite their wealth, people do not last, 83
they are like animals 84 that perish. 85
49:20 Wealthy people do not understand; 86
they are like animals 87 that perish. 88
51:5 Look, I was guilty of sin from birth,
a sinner the moment my mother conceived me. 89
51:6 Look, 90 you desire 91 integrity in the inner man; 92
you want me to possess wisdom. 93
51:8 Grant me the ultimate joy of being forgiven! 94
May the bones 95 you crushed rejoice! 96
51:18 Because you favor Zion, do what is good for her! 97
Fortify 98 the walls of Jerusalem! 99
55:7 Look, I will escape to a distant place;
I will stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
59:8 But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them; 100
you taunt 101 all the nations.
60:11 Give us help against the enemy,
for any help men might offer is futile. 102
61:3 Indeed, 103 you are 104 my shelter,
a strong tower that protects me from the enemy. 105
63:9 Enemies seek to destroy my life, 106
but they will descend into the depths of the earth. 107
64:3 They 108 sharpen their tongues like a sword;
they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge, 109
67:3 Let the nations thank you, O God!
Let all the nations thank you! 110
69:7 For I suffer 111 humiliation for your sake 112
and am thoroughly disgraced. 113
69:18 Come near me and redeem me! 114
Because of my enemies, rescue me!
69:21 They put bitter poison 115 into my food,
and to quench my thirst they give me vinegar to drink. 116
69:22 May their dining table become a trap before them!
May it be a snare for that group of friends! 117
69:23 May their eyes be blinded! 118
Make them shake violently! 119
69:27 Hold them accountable for all their sins! 120
Do not vindicate them! 121
75:5 Do not be so certain you have won! 122
Do not speak with your head held so high! 123
75:9 As for me, I will continually tell what you have done; 124
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob!
80:13 The wild boars of the forest ruin it; 125
the insects 126 of the field feed on it.
81:2 Sing 127 a song and play the tambourine,
the pleasant sounding harp, and the ten-stringed instrument!
81:4 For observing the festival is a requirement for Israel; 128
it is an ordinance given by the God of Jacob.
81:6 It said: 129 “I removed the burden from his shoulder;
his hands were released from holding the basket. 130
81:9 There must be 131 no other 132 god among you.
You must not worship a foreign god.
83:5 Yes, 133 they devise a unified strategy; 134
they form an alliance 135 against you.
83:6 It includes 136 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites, 137
83:7 Gebal, 138 Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. 139
83:10 They were destroyed at Endor; 140
their corpses were like manure 141 on the ground.
83:12 who said, 142 “Let’s take over 143 the pastures of God!”
83:13 O my God, make them like dead thistles, 144
like dead weeds blown away by 145 the wind!
83:16 Cover 146 their faces with shame,
so they might seek 147 you, 148 O Lord.
83:17 May they be humiliated and continually terrified! 149
May they die in shame! 150
84:9 O God, take notice of our shield! 151
Show concern for your chosen king! 152
84:12 O Lord who rules over all, 153
how blessed are those who trust in you! 154
85:5 Will you stay mad at us forever?
Will you remain angry throughout future generations? 155
85:11 Faithfulness grows from the ground,
and deliverance looks down from the sky. 156
88:2 Listen to my prayer! 157
Pay attention 158 to my cry for help!
88:3 For my life 159 is filled with troubles
and I am ready to enter Sheol. 160
88:14 O Lord, why do you reject me,
and pay no attention to me? 161
88:18 You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; 162
those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. 163
89:17 For you give them splendor and strength. 164
By your favor we are victorious. 165
89:23 I will crush his enemies before him;
I will strike down those who hate him.
89:43 You turn back 166 his sword from the adversary, 167
and have not sustained him in battle. 168
89:47 Take note of my brief lifespan! 169
Why do you make all people so mortal? 170
92:3 to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre,
to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp.
92:5 How great are your works, O Lord!
Your plans are very intricate! 171
92:6 The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this;
the fool does not understand this. 172
102:3 For my days go up in smoke, 173
and my bones are charred like a fireplace. 174
102:12 But you, O Lord, rule forever, 175
and your reputation endures. 176
108:12 Give us help against the enemy,
for any help men might offer is futile. 177
140:2 who plan ways to harm me. 178
All day long they stir up conflict. 179
