Yes, I confess my wrongdoing, and I am concerned about my sins.

Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing!

God reigns over the nations! God sits on his holy throne!

Walk around Zion! Encircle it! Count its towers!

You do damage with words, and use your tongue to deceive.

You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

Look, I will escape to a distant place; I will stay in the wilderness. (Selah)

Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?

You hear prayers; all people approach you.

For the Lord listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people.

Arrogance is their necklace, and violence their clothing.

He turned their rivers into blood, and they could not drink from their streams.

He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore-fig trees with driving rain.

Their priests fell by the sword, but their widows did not weep.

chase them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your windstorm.

Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky.

I will punish their rebellion by beating them with a club, their sin by inflicting them with bruises.

The godly bask in the light; the morally upright experience joy.

Let the rivers clap their hands! Let the mountains sing in unison

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