The oppressed look on – let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!

How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

But God has been my king from ancient times, performing acts of deliverance on the earth.

Rise up, O God! Defend your honor! Remember how fools insult you all day long!

when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”

You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.

When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.

O God, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

O God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

O Lord God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!

I thought, ‘You are gods; all of you are sons of the Most High.’

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

Yes, I know the Lord is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods.

If only you would kill the wicked, O God! Get away from me, you violent men!

The Lord rules forever, your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come! Praise the Lord!

May they praise God while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,

then you will understand how to fear the Lord, and you will discover knowledge about God.

Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people.

Just as there is futility in many dreams, so also in many words. Therefore, fear God!
