O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord, (Selah)

For you give me confidence, O Lord; O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young.

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

I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever? Will he never again show me his favor?

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray!

O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually!

Where are your earlier faithful deeds, O Lord, the ones performed in accordance with your reliable oath to David?

O sovereign Lord, at your right hand he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes his anger.

O Lord, listen to me! Pay attention to my plea for mercy!

If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?

O Lord, you understand my heart’s desire; my groaning is not hidden from you.

Yet I wait for you, O Lord! You will respond, O Lord, my God!

Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord? Wake up! Do not reject us forever!

Confuse them, O Lord! Frustrate their plans! For I see violence and conflict in the city.

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!

and you, O Lord, demonstrate loyal love. For you repay men for what they do.

God has countless chariots; they number in the thousands. The Lord comes from Sinai in holy splendor.

The Lord deserves praise! Day after day he carries our burden, the God who delivers us. (Selah)

Our God is a God who delivers; the Lord, the sovereign Lord, can rescue from death.
