They witnessed the acts of the Lord, his amazing feats on the deep water.

I am committed to peace, but when I speak, they want to make war.

As for God’s chosen people who are in the land, and the leading officials I admired so much –

They will fall down, but we will stand firm.

I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.

Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord, for you have always acted in this manner.

Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

As soon as they see, they are shocked; they are terrified, they quickly retreat.

He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

The Lord knows that peoples’ thoughts are morally bankrupt.

They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.

I claim your rules as my permanent possession, for they give me joy.

The enemy’s cities have been reduced to permanent ruins; you destroyed their cities; all memory of the enemies has perished.

Terrify them, Lord! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)

When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.

Reveal your light and your faithfulness! They will lead me, they will escort me back to your holy hill, and to the place where you live.

They stalk and lurk; they watch my every step, as they prepare to take my life.

They wander around looking for something to eat; they refuse to sleep until they are full.

They will perish, but you will endure. They will wear out like a garment; like clothes you will remove them and they will disappear.

Even when I must walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff reassure me.
