I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.

A psalm of David. Here is the Lord’s proclamation to my lord: “Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!”

The Lord made a reliable promise to David; he will not go back on his word. He said, “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.

“Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,” says the Lord. “I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”

How long must I worry, and suffer in broad daylight? How long will my enemy gloat over me?
