Come and witness God’s exploits! His acts on behalf of people are awesome!

Though you have allowed me to experience much trouble and distress, revive me once again! Bring me up once again from the depths of the earth!

We do not see any signs of God’s presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.

O God, invincible warrior, come back! Look down from heaven and take notice! Take care of this vine,

They are sustained as they travel along; each one appears before God in Zion.

Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O Lord, will help me and comfort me.

No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)

He remains loyal and faithful to the family of Israel. All the ends of the earth see our God deliver us.

so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you.

May the Lord bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,

Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All the days ordained for me were recorded in your scroll before one of them came into existence.

You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.

Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering – those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.

For innumerable dangers surround me. My sins overtake me so I am unable to see; they outnumber the hairs of my head so my strength fails me.

When someone comes to visit, he pretends to be friendly; he thinks of ways to defame me, and when he leaves he slanders me.

We heard about God’s mighty deeds, now we have seen them, in the city of the Lord, the invincible Warrior, in the city of our God. God makes it permanently secure. (Selah)

God looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.

Look to the right and see! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run; no one is concerned about my life.
