“Do you hunt prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of the lions,

Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it?

Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?

But as soon as she springs up, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more.”

Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency, and clothe yourself with glory and honor!

Look at every proud man and abase him; crush the wicked on the spot!

It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair.

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

Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.

Terrify them, Lord! Let the nations know they are mere mortals! (Selah)

Why, Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you pay no attention during times of trouble?

Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!

The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds; he took notice of my blameless behavior.

They say, “Commit yourself to the Lord! Let the Lord rescue him! Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.”

Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

But I have integrity! Rescue me and have mercy on me!

Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

Those who look to him for help are happy; their faces are not ashamed.

Remain loyal to the Lord, you chosen people of his, for his loyal followers lack nothing!
