The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,

Your compassion is great, O Lord. Revive me, as you typically do!

The enemies who chase me are numerous. Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

He defeated many nations, and killed mighty kings –

He reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me from the surging water.

Many bulls surround me; powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

The Lord reigns! Let the earth be happy! Let the many coastlands rejoice!

Some traveled on the sea in ships, and carried cargo over the vast waters.

I will thank the Lord profusely, in the middle of a crowd I will praise him,

Many say about me, “God will not deliver him.” (Selah)

Many say, “Who can show us anything good?” Smile upon us, Lord!

The Lord’s shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the Lord appears over the surging water.

He gave me reason to sing a new song, praising our God. May many see what God has done, so that they might swear allegiance to him and trust in the Lord!

Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long. Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One.

You walked through the sea; you passed through the surging waters, but left no footprints.

Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted, and of how I must bear so many insults from people!

Above the sound of the surging water, and the mighty waves of the sea, the Lord sits enthroned in majesty.

Reach down from above! Grab me and rescue me from the surging water, from the power of foreigners,

A psalm of David, written when he fled from his son Absalom. Lord, how numerous are my enemies! Many attack me.
