Hear my plea for mercy when I cry out to you for help, when I lift my hands toward your holy temple!

The Lord pays attention to the godly and hears their cry for help.

May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord’s angel attacks them!

If we had rejected our God, and spread out our hands in prayer to another god,

I do not need to take a bull from your household or goats from your sheepfolds.

For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me, as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”

My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.

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

a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him?

You have cut short his youth, and have covered him with shame. (Selah)

Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.

So teach us to consider our mortality, so that we might live wisely.

Come! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout out praises to our protector who delivers us!

For they say cruel and deceptive things to me; they lie to me.

O sovereign Lord, at your right hand he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes his anger.

I will fulfill my vows to the Lord before all his people.

Yes, Lord! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death.

Their tongues wound like a serpent; a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah)

He brings peace to your territory. He abundantly provides for you the best grain.
