My hand will support him, and my arm will strengthen him.

How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O Lord, the one whom you teach from your law,

The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

The sea is his, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

where your ancestors challenged my authority, and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.

So I made a vow in my anger, ‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”

The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need, the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

where the birds make nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live.

Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,

He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

They did not destroy the nations, as the Lord had commanded them to do.

Let those delivered by the Lord speak out, those whom he delivered from the power of the enemy,

May the creditor seize all he owns! May strangers loot his property!

His resolve is firm; he will not succumb to fear before he looks in triumph on his enemies.

Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.

Take away the insults that I dread! Indeed, your regulations are good.

I will lift my hands to your commands, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.

I am a friend to all your loyal followers, and to those who keep your precepts.

The arrogant dig pits to trap me, which violates your law.

I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.
