O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

The Lord reigns! The nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the winged angels; the earth shakes.

He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain,

A song, a psalm of David. I am determined, O God! I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.

Appoint an evil man to testify against him! May an accuser stand at his right side!

because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.

ה (He) Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes, so that I might observe it continually.

May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep!

A song of ascents. When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming.

Surely people go through life as mere ghosts. Surely they accumulate worthless wealth without knowing who will eventually haul it away.”

“Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others.”

because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.

May he send help from heaven and deliver me from my enemies who hurl insults! (Selah) May God send his loyal love and faithfulness!
