They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.

Come! Let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout out praises to our protector who delivers us!

For the Lord is a great God, a great king who is superior to all gods.

to whom belongs the sea that he made, and [the] dry land [that] his hands formed.

Come! Let us worship and bow down; let us kneel in the presence of the LORD, who made us.

For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!

“For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Tell it out among the Heathen, that the LORD is king: and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast, that it can not be moved, and how that he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad. {TYNDALE: He established the earth that it cannot move. The heaven rejoice and the earth be glad. And let men tell among the nations that the LORD is a king.}

Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.

Let all those be [deeply] ashamed who serve carved images,
Who boast in idols.
Worship Him, all you gods!

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

Let the sea thunder and roar, and all the things it contains,
The world and those who dwell in it.

in the LORD's presence, who comes to judge the earth; He'll judge the world righteously; and its people fairly.

The strength of the King loves justice and righteous judgment;
You have established fairness;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel).

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

Lord our God, You answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them,
an avenger of their sinful actions.

Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His].
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes.
I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path];
It will not grasp hold of me.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will silence;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud (arrogant) heart I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with me;
He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve me.

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. A prayer by the afflicted man who is overwhelmed and talks about his troubles with the LORD.

My enemies taunt me all day long;
Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse.

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people who shall be created shall praise the LORD.

To hear the sighing of the prisoner,
To set free those who were doomed to death,

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

The Lord executes righteousness
And justice for all the oppressed.

[who] made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the {people} of Israel.

For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

Just as a father loves his children,
So the Lord loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,

To those who honor and keep His covenant,
And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts].

Bless the Lord, you His angels,
You mighty ones who do His commandments,
Obeying the voice of His word!

Bless the Lord, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him and do His will.

Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills they go on.

[You are the one who] {waters} [the] mountains from his upper chambers. The earth is full with the fruit of your labors:

[who] causes grass to grow for the cattle and herbs for the service of humankind, to bring forth food from the earth,

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.

Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those who seek and require the Lord [as their most essential need] rejoice.

Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

Then he brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts],
Who practice righteousness at all times.

so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you.

And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.

They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him.

Then he gave them into [the] hand of [the] nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

He also made them objects of compassion
Among those who had carried them away captive.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

those whom he gathered from other lands from the east, west, north, and south.

He has satisfied the one who thirsts, filling the hungry with what is good.

[Those who] sat in darkness and gloom, prisoners of misery and iron--

[Those who] went down to the sea into ships, doing business on [the] {high seas},

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, who lifts up the waves thereof.

They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

A productive land into a [barren] salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

Who is wise, and observeth these? They understand the kind acts of Jehovah!

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

With God we will do valiantly,
For it is He who will trample down our enemies.

God, whom I praise, do not be silent,

Set in charge over him, one who is lawless, and let, an accuser, stand at his right hand;

Let there be none [who] extend to him loyal love, nor any who pities his orphans.

Let this be the reward of my attackers from the Lord,
And of those who speak evil against my life.

For He will stand at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;
In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
Your young men are to You as the dew.

Great are the works of the Lord,
Studied by all those who delight in them.

He has given food to those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence];
He will remember His covenant forever.

The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom;
A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord;
His praise endures forever.

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who fears the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and worships Him with obedience],
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

His descendants will be powerful in the land, a generation of the upright who will be blessed.

Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous (upright—in right standing with God).

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He conducts his affairs with justice.

He will never be shaken; the one who is just will always be remembered.

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

You who [reverently] fear the Lord, trust in Lord;
He is their help and their shield.

He will bless those who fear and worship the Lord [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder],
Both the small and the great.

Blessed are ye of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
