By David. I will give you thanks with all my heart; before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.

Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it.

Every day I will praise you! I will praise your name continually!

You open your hand, and fill every living thing with the food they desire.

Praise him, O sun and moon! Praise him, all you shiny stars!

Praise the Lord from the earth, you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,

Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

I am exhausted as I groan; all night long I drench my bed in tears; my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.

Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping!

May all my enemies be humiliated and absolutely terrified! May they turn back and be suddenly humiliated!

Then I will tell about all your praiseworthy acts; in the gates of Daughter Zion I will rejoice because of your deliverance.”

The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks, “God won’t hold me accountable; he doesn’t care.”

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts!

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the Lord.

For I am aware of all his regulations, and I do not reject his rules.

The one true God acts in a faithful manner; the Lord’s promise is reliable; he is a shield to all who take shelter in him.

Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon. In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun.

Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the Lord grant all your requests!

All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads.
