O God, when you lead your people into battle, when you march through the desert, (Selah)

When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,

When I am afraid, I trust in you.

You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

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

Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people! Pay attention to me, when you deliver,

I had faith when I said, “I am severely oppressed.”

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and his wealth multiplies!

when the Lord rebuilds Zion, and reveals his splendor,

which my lips uttered and my mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

When the sovereign judge scatters kings, let it snow on Zalmon!

You rule over the proud sea. When its waves surge, you calm them.

Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?

when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the Lord.

When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

Egypt was happy when they left, for they were afraid of them.

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

Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!

When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away their life’s breath, they die and return to dust.

My enemies ask this cruel question about me, ‘When will he finally die and be forgotten?’
