I have not failed to tell about your justice; I spoke about your reliability and deliverance; I have not neglected to tell the great assembly about your loyal love and faithfulness.

For they did not conquer the land by their swords, and they did not prevail by their strength, but rather by your power, strength and good favor, for you were partial to them.

For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.

Yet he is compassionate. He forgives sin and does not destroy. He often holds back his anger, and does not stir up his fury.

Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!

Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds, they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.

Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.

For I have obeyed the Lord’s commands; I have not rebelled against my God.

You widen my path; my feet do not slip.

I chase my enemies and catch them; I do not turn back until I wipe them out.

I beat them to death; they fall at my feet.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.

Certainly none who rely on you will be humiliated. Those who deal in treachery will be thwarted and humiliated.

I hate the mob of evil men, and do not associate with the wicked.

You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place.

A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory; despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.

He protects all his bones; not one of them is broken.
