Their insults are painful and make me lose heart; I look for sympathy, but receive none, for comforters, but find none.

The oppressed look on – let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!

I will come and tell about the mighty acts of the sovereign Lord. I will proclaim your justice – yours alone.

O God, you have taught me since I was young, and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.

The Lord God, the God of Israel, deserves praise! He alone accomplishes amazing things!

They speak as if they rule in heaven, and lay claim to the earth.

Therefore they have more than enough food to eat, and even suck up the water of the sea.

But God has been my king from ancient times, performing acts of deliverance on the earth.

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a psalm of Asaph; a song. We give thanks to you, O God! We give thanks! You reveal your presence; people tell about your amazing deeds.

Do not be so certain you have won! Do not speak with your head held so high!

You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak.

Has his loyal love disappeared forever? Has his promise failed forever?

I will think about all you have done; I will reflect upon your deeds!”

You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.

we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
