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

He gives his chosen king magnificent victories; he is faithful to his chosen ruler, to David and his descendants forever.”

You prevail over all your enemies; your power is too great for those who hate you.

To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.

My God, I trust in you. Please do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies triumphantly rejoice over me!

Teach me how you want me to live; lead me along a level path because of those who wait to ambush me!

The Lord’s shout is heard over the water; the majestic God thunders, the Lord appears over the surging water.

For day and night you tormented me; you tried to destroy me in the intense heat of summer. (Selah)

An evil person suffers much pain, but the Lord’s faithfulness overwhelms the one who trusts in him.

By David. O Lord, fight those who fight with me! Attack those who attack me!

They say, ‘An awful disease overwhelms him, and now that he is bed-ridden he will never recover.’

I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”

May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil! As a demonstration of your faithfulness, destroy them!

Those who anticipate my defeat attack me all day long. Indeed, many are fighting against me, O Exalted One.

Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack. Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me!

Look, they hurl insults at me and openly threaten to kill me, for they say, “Who hears?”

How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.

Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our shelter! (Selah)

For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
