פ (Pe) Your rules are marvelous. Therefore I observe them.

I keep your rules; I love them greatly.

May I live and praise you! May your regulations help me!

The raging water would have overwhelmed us.

I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.

I yearn for the Lord, more than watchmen do for the morning, yes, more than watchmen do for the morning.

When I cried out for help, you answered me. You made me bold and energized me.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

The Lord approves of the godly, but he hates the wicked and those who love to do violence.

Protect me from the wicked men who attack me, my enemies who crowd around me for the kill.

Deliver me from the sword! Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs!

He restores my strength. He leads me down the right paths for the sake of his reputation.

Protect me and deliver me! Please do not let me be humiliated, for I have taken shelter in you!

I will boast in the Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice!

O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions!

Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha! We have what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have devoured him!”

For we lie in the dirt, with our bellies pressed to the ground.

Look, God is my deliverer! The Lord is among those who support me.
