:

Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

:

Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life.

:

I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

:

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

:

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

:

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

:

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

:

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, To your tents.

:

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

:

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

:

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.

:

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

:

You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.

:

For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.

:

You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!

:

Through you, will we push down our adversaries. Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.

:

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

:

But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.

:

In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

:

But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and don’t go out with our armies.

:

You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

:

You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

:

You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.

:

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

:

You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

:

All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,

:

At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.

:

All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.

:

Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,

:

Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

:

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

:

won’t God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

:

Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

:

Wake up! Why do you sleep, Lord? Arise! Don’t reject us forever.

:

Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

:

For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body clings to the earth.

:

Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

:

For the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A contemplation by the sons of Korah. A wedding song.

:

My heart overflows with a noble theme. I recite my verses for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

:

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

:

Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty.

:

In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness. Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

:

Your arrows are sharp. The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

:

Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

:

You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

:

All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

:

Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women. At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

:

Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear. Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

:

So the king will desire your beauty, honor him, for he is your lord.

:

The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift. The rich among the people entreat your favor.

:

The princess inside is all glorious. Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

:

She shall be led to the king in embroidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

:

With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king’s palace.

:

Your sons will take the place of your fathers. You shall make them princes in all the earth.

:

I will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

:

For the Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth.

:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

:

Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

:

though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

:

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

:

God is in her midst. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

:

The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

:

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

:

Come, see Yahweh’s works, what desolations he has made in the earth.

:

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns the chariots in the fire.

:

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

:

Yahweh of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

:

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the Sons of Korah.

:

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

:

For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

:

He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

:

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

:

God has gone up with a shout, Yahweh with the sound of a trumpet.

:

Sing praise to God, sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

:

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

:

God reigns over the nations. God sits on his holy throne.

:

The princes of the peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!

:

A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

:

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

:

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

:

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

:

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

:

They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

:

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

:

With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

:

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. Selah.

:

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.

:

As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

:

Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.

:

Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

:

Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

:

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

:

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

:

Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

:

both low and high, rich and poor together.

:

My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.

:

I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

:

Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

:

Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches–

:

none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
