Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you!

He will call out to me, ‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’

But you have spurned and rejected him; you are angry with your chosen king.

For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One.

But you, O Lord, rule forever, and your reputation endures.

Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.

They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.

You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.

Certainly you made my mind and heart; you wove me together in my mother’s womb.

The king says, “I will announce the Lord’s decree. He said to me: ‘You are my son! This very day I have become your father!

I will lie down and sleep peacefully, for you, Lord, make me safe and secure.

Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people cannot dwell with you.

Certainly you reward the godly, Lord. Like a shield you protect them in your good favor.

I am absolutely terrified, and you, Lord – how long will this continue?

You, Lord, will protect them; you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,

For you deliver oppressed people, but you bring down those who have a proud look.

Indeed, you are my lamp, Lord. My God illuminates the darkness around me.

Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.

Guide me into your truth and teach me. For you are the God who delivers me; on you I rely all day long.
