O Lord, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified.

You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men; you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.

I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, “When will I be able to go and appear in God’s presence?”

Our God approaches and is not silent; consuming fire goes ahead of him and all around him a storm rages.

Do not reject me! Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me!

because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.

They have prepared a net to trap me; I am discouraged. They have dug a pit for me. They will fall into it! (Selah)

Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.

May he reign forever before God! Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.

For the music director; to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a psalm, a song. May God show us his favor and bless us! May he smile on us! (Selah)

For the music director; by David, a psalm, a song. God springs into action! His enemies scatter; his adversaries run from him.

Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the Lord is his name! Rejoice before him!

Do not ignore your servant, for I am in trouble! Answer me right away!

May his fame endure! May his dynasty last as long as the sun remains in the sky! May they use his name when they formulate their blessings! May all nations consider him to be favored by God!

You are awesome! Yes, you! Who can withstand your intense anger?

He drove the nations out from before them; he assigned them their tribal allotments and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.

Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die!

In the sight of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh reveal your power! Come and deliver us!

All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name.

Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.
