I will give you thanks before the nations, O Lord! I will sing praises to you before foreigners!

The righteous will never be moved, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.

No one can be established through wickedness, but a righteous root cannot be moved.

Fearing the Lord leads to life, and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.

These sayings also are from the wise: To show partiality in judgment is terrible:

Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals! You will see Jerusalem, a peaceful settlement, a tent that stays put; its stakes will never be pulled up; none of its ropes will snap in two.

Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is established, it cannot be moved.

The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks, “God won’t hold me accountable; he doesn’t care.”

He says to himself, “I will never be upended, because I experience no calamity.”

He says to himself, “God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.”

You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.

You grant him his heart’s desire; you do not refuse his request. (Selah)

For the king trusts in the Lord, and because of the sovereign Lord’s faithfulness he is not upended.

Yes, they intend to do you harm; they dream up a scheme, but they do not succeed.

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

Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!

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

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

A slanderer will not endure on the earth; calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down.

He has not done so with any other nation; they are not aware of his regulations. Praise the Lord!
