Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord, when they hear the words you speak.

who plan ways to harm me. All day long they stir up conflict.

Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.

As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies! Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant.

Everything looks to you in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a regular basis.

My mouth will praise the Lord. Let all who live praise his holy name forever!

the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who remains forever faithful,

Give sincere homage! Otherwise he will be angry, and you will die because of your behavior, when his anger quickly ignites. How blessed are all who take shelter in him!

Rise up, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.

But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice!

I have asked the Lord for one thing – this is what I desire! I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.

Love the Lord, all you faithful followers of his! The Lord protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly.

For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them.

With all my strength I will say, “O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

You severely discipline people for their sins; like a moth you slowly devour their strength. Surely all people are a mere vapor. (Selah)

I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

It is lofty and pleasing to look at, a source of joy to the whole earth. Mount Zion resembles the peaks of Zaphon; it is the city of the great king.

But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.

For the Lord holds in his hand a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will slurp it up and drink it to its very last drop.”

Yet he is compassionate. He forgives sin and does not destroy. He often holds back his anger, and does not stir up his fury.
