He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.

Protect me, for I am loyal! O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you!

None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable!

They treat me like those who descend into the grave. I am like a helpless man,

O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you.

The Lord reigns! The nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the winged angels; the earth shakes.

He covers himself with light as if it were a garment. He stretches out the skies like a tent curtain,

A song, a psalm of David. I am determined, O God! I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.

Appoint an evil man to testify against him! May an accuser stand at his right side!

because he stands at the right hand of the needy, to deliver him from those who threaten his life.

ה (He) Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes, so that I might observe it continually.

May he not allow your foot to slip! May your protector not sleep!

A song of ascents. When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming.

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

Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song! Praise him in the assembly of the godly!

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

(Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)

Such are the ways of all who gain profit unjustly; it takes away the life of those who obtain it!

For the Lord disciplines those he loves, just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights.

She is like a tree of life to those who obtain her, and everyone who grasps hold of her will be blessed.
