When he pulls it out and it comes out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver, terrors come over him.

For all of them, the morning is to them like deep darkness; they are friends with the terrors of darkness.

God may let them rest in a feeling of security, but he is constantly watching all their ways.

If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it; and they did not cause the light of my face to darken.

Terrors are turned loose on me; they drive away my honor like the wind, and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.

The godless at heart nourish anger, they do not cry out even when he binds them.

From the north he comes in golden splendor; around God is awesome majesty.

It paws the ground in the valley, exulting mightily, it goes out to meet the weapons.

If the river rages, it is not disturbed, it is secure, though the Jordan should surge up to its mouth.

It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud.”

You defend the fatherless and oppressed, so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them.

A psalm by Asaph. El, God, the Lord speaks, and summons the earth to come from the east and west.

Carefully consider this, you who reject God! Otherwise I will rip you to shreds and no one will be able to rescue you.

in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?

Come and witness God’s exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome!

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