I will celebrate my deliverance, and call on the name of the Lord.

May the one who comes in the name of the Lord be blessed! We will pronounce blessings on you in the Lord’s temple.

Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, for I find hope in your word.

For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.

The Lord is your protector; the Lord is the shade at your right hand.

May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,

Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly, and recognizes the proud from far away.

Your knowledge is beyond my comprehension; it is so far beyond me, I am unable to fathom it.

O Lord, do I not hate those who hate you, and despise those who oppose you?

O sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

Certainly the godly will give thanks to your name; the morally upright will live in your presence.

May you accept my prayer like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering!

They will talk about the fame of your great kindness, and sing about your justice.

Your kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.

Their life’s breath departs, they return to the ground; on that day their plans die.

He then orders it all to melt; he breathes on it, and the water flows.

You men, how long will you try to turn my honor into shame? How long will you love what is worthless and search for what is deceptive? (Selah)

May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!

From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.

Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days, and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.
