On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps,

Let the godly rejoice because of their vindication! Let them shout for joy upon their beds!

For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above!

He does not slander, or do harm to others, or insult his neighbor.

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

Help us, O God, our deliverer! For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us! Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation!

Not to us, O Lord, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your name, because of your loyal love and faithfulness, for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.

“I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy hill.”

The Lord delivers; you show favor to your people. (Selah)

The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

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

For you make them retreat when you shoot your arrows at them.

He takes me to lush pastures, he leads me to refreshing water.

For he set its foundation upon the seas, and established it upon the ocean currents.

The Lord is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.

Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

Then you will take delight in the Lord, and he will answer your prayers.

Commit your future to the Lord! Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.
