I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.

For this reason we do not fear when the earth shakes, and the mountains tumble into the depths of the sea,

God lives within it, it cannot be moved. God rescues it at the break of dawn.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

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.

Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended.

He alone is my protector and deliverer. He is my refuge; I will not be upended.

They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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

A song of ascents. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion; it cannot be upended and will endure forever.

May he rain down fiery coals upon them! May he throw them into the fire! From bottomless pits they will not escape.

I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!”

He does not charge interest when he lends his money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. The one who lives like this will never be upended.

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.

To make a contribution one selects wood that will not rot; he then seeks a skilled craftsman to make an idol that will not fall over.

The craftsman encourages the metalsmith, the one who wields the hammer encourages the one who pounds on the anvil. He approves the quality of the welding, and nails it down so it won’t fall over.”
