Your deliverance brings him great honor; you give him majestic splendor.

Rise up, O Lord, in strength! We will sing and praise your power!

Make me understand your ways, O Lord! Teach me your paths!

The Lord is both kind and fair; that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.

They experience his favor; their descendants inherit the land.

See my pain and suffering! Forgive all my sins!

I do not associate with deceitful men, or consort with those who are dishonest.

I am safe, and among the worshipers I will praise the Lord.

I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.

Then make sure you don’t speak evil words or use deceptive speech!

Evil men plot against the godly and viciously attack them.

Their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.

For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me!

We have not been unfaithful, nor have we disobeyed your commands.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge. (Selah)

You plot against your brother; you slander your own brother.

Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt!
