A psalm by Asaph. El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west.

With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you! I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good!

Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended.

O God, break the teeth in their mouths! Smash the jawbones of the lions, O Lord!

Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good! Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!

For the Lord listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people.

Remember how the enemy hurls insults, O Lord, and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!

Make vows to the Lord your God and repay them! Let all those who surround him bring tribute to the awesome one!

we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the Lord’s praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.

O Lord God, invincible warrior! How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you?

I am the Lord, your God, the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!’

Then they will know that you alone are the Lord, the sovereign king over all the earth.

O Lord, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you!
