Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.

Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

My enemies’ taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

God says this to the evildoer: “How can you declare my commands, and talk about my covenant?

Surely he rescues me from all trouble, and I triumph over my enemies.

My enemies will turn back when I cry out to you for help; I know that God is on my side.

Kings leading armies run away – they run away! The lovely lady of the house divides up the loot.

Therefore they have more than enough food to eat, and even suck up the water of the sea.

O God, your deeds are extraordinary! What god can compare to our great God?

They did not keep their covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.

He guided them safely along, while the sea covered their enemies.

He will pay them back for their sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the Lord our God will destroy them.

He spread out a cloud for a cover, and provided a fire to light up the night.

For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.

Revive me with your loyal love, that I might keep the rules you have revealed.

You despise all who stray from your statutes, for they are deceptive and unreliable.

If I tried to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. Even if I finished counting them, I would still have to contend with you.

Let them praise his name with dancing! Let them sing praises to him to the accompaniment of the tambourine and harp!

Lord, use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring.

For you are the God who shelters me. Why do you reject me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?
