I will not break my covenant or go back on what I promised.

Take note, O Lord, of the way your servants are taunted, and of how I must bear so many insults from people!

Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.

Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? Your raging fury causes people to fear you.

May our sovereign God extend his favor to us! Make our endeavors successful! Yes, make them successful!

When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.

Indeed, look at your enemies, O Lord! Indeed, look at how your enemies perish! All the evildoers are scattered!

They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast.

Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?

The Lord knows that peoples’ thoughts are morally bankrupt.

Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Tell the nations about his splendor! Tell all the nations about his amazing deeds!

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength!

Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his courts!

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

I will not even consider doing what is dishonest. I hate doing evil; I will have no part of it.

Deceitful people will not live in my palace. Liars will not be welcome in my presence.

The nations will respect the reputation of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will respect his splendor,

when the nations gather together, and the kingdoms pay tribute to the Lord.

In earlier times you established the earth; the skies are your handiwork.
