I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?”

Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

In God I boast all day long, and we will continually give thanks to your name. (Selah)

The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

The Lord who commands armies is on our side! The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol; certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)

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

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

Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! In your anger bring down the nations, O God!

For you, O God, hear my vows; you grant me the reward that belongs to your loyal followers.

Trust in him at all times, you people! Pour out your hearts before him! God is our shelter! (Selah)

and all people will fear. They will proclaim what God has done, and reflect on his deeds.

Say to God: “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power your enemies cower in fear before you.

Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me.

He is a father to the fatherless and an advocate for widows. God rules from his holy palace.

O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them,

The Lord deserves praise! Day after day he carries our burden, the God who delivers us. (Selah)

Indeed God strikes the heads of his enemies, the hairy foreheads of those who persist in rebellion.

I am exhausted from shouting for help; my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God.

My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the hand of the cruel oppressor!
