Lord, you give me stability and prosperity; you make my future secure.

I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.

But you, O Lord, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!

But I trust in you, O Lord! I declare, “You are my God!”

I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.

As for you, O Lord, have mercy on me and raise me up, so I can pay them back!”

You are my king, O God! Decree Jacob’s deliverance!

But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them; you taunt all the nations.

Our record of sins overwhelms me, but you forgive our acts of rebellion.

For you give me confidence, O Lord; O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you fed him to the people who live along the coast.

You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.

I thought, ‘You are gods; all of you are sons of the Most High.’

Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you!

He will call out to me, ‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’

But you have spurned and rejected him; you are angry with your chosen king.

For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One.

But you, O Lord, rule forever, and your reputation endures.

Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.

They curse, but you will bless. When they attack, they will be humiliated, but your servant will rejoice.
