Though I have done nothing wrong, they are anxious to attack. Spring into action and help me! Take notice of me!

You have given your loyal followers a rallying flag, so that they might seek safety from the bow. (Selah)

Give the king long life! Make his lifetime span several generations!

How long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.

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

For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

Kings leading armies run away – they run away! The lovely lady of the house divides up the loot.

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

Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink! Deliver me from those who hate me, from the deep water!

Don’t let the current overpower me! Don’t let the deep swallow me up! Don’t let the pit devour me!

May their eyes be blinded! Make them shake violently!

People will fear you as long as the sun and moon remain in the sky, for generation after generation.

Yes, look! Those far from you die; you destroy everyone who is unfaithful to you.

Hurry and look at the permanent ruins, and all the damage the enemy has done to the temple!

How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?

Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal! Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people!

Then they will place their confidence in God. They will not forget the works of God, and they will obey his commands.

They did not keep their covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.

He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the water stand in a heap.

He brought the east wind through the sky, and by his strength led forth the south wind.
