You deliver oppressed people, but you watch the proud and bring them down.

The Lord is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king!

He delivers me from my enemies; you snatch me away from those who attack me; you rescue me from violent men.

Because you have closed their minds to understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high?

But you, Lord, are a shield that protects me; you are my glory and the one who restores me.

for the wicked seem to be everywhere, when people promote evil.

The Lord is alive! My protector is praiseworthy! The God who delivers me is exalted as king!

Rise up, O Lord, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!

Magnify the Lord with me! Let’s praise his name together!

Hurry and look at the permanent ruins, and all the damage the enemy has done to the temple!

Do not be so certain you have won! Do not speak with your head held so high!

For victory does not come from the east or west, or from the wilderness.

For God is the judge! He brings one down and exalts another.

God says, “I will bring down all the power of the wicked; the godly will be victorious.”

He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.

They rejoice in your name all day long, and are vindicated by your justice.

He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, and by my name he will win victories.

You have allowed his adversaries to be victorious, and all his enemies to rejoice.

You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox. I am covered with fresh oil.
