I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.

so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.

The pastures in the wilderness glisten with moisture, and the hills are clothed with joy.

O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king!

He bends down to look at the sky and the earth.

Offer to the Lord a song of thanks! Sing praises to our God to the accompaniment of a harp!

Certainly zeal for your house consumes me; I endure the insults of those who insult you.

Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

Do not trust in what you can gain by oppression! Do not put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery! If wealth increases, do not become attached to it!

Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor.

Sing to him a new song! Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him!

Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.

I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.

He reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me from the surging water.

He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.

Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended.

Then observers will say, “Yes indeed, the godly are rewarded! Yes indeed, there is a God who judges in the earth!”

The God who loves me will help me; God will enable me to triumph over my enemies.
