So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O Lord my God, I will always give thanks to you.

O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!

Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction!

When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; they gathered together to ambush me. They tore at me without stopping to rest.

May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, “May the Lord be praised!”

Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,

Do not strike them dead suddenly, because then my people might forget the lesson. Use your power to make them homeless vagabonds and then bring them down, O Lord who shields us!

Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the Lord is his name! Rejoice before him!

He sent his anger in full force; he did not spare them from death; he handed their lives over to destruction.

The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty, the Lord is robed, he wears strength around his waist. Indeed, the world is established, it cannot be moved.

For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.’

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! The world is established, it cannot be moved. He judges the nations fairly.”

before the Lord, for he comes! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in accordance with his justice.

A psalm. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he performs amazing deeds! His right hand and his mighty arm accomplish deliverance.

Indeed I am composed and quiet, like a young child carried by its mother; I am content like the young child I carry.

Answer me quickly, Lord! My strength is fading. Do not reject me, or I will join those descending into the grave.

who loves me and is my stronghold, my refuge and my deliverer, my shield and the one in whom I take shelter, who makes nations submit to me.

When you walk about, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you.

till an arrow pierces his liver – like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life.
