<t /><p class="psasuper">By David.p> <p class="poetry">I will give you thanks with all my heart;p> <p class="poetry">before the heavenly assembly<n id="2" /> I will sing praises to you.p>

<p class="poetry">Certainly<n id="1" /> my tongue does not frame a wordp> <p class="poetry">without you, O <sc>Lordsc>, being thoroughly aware of it.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Every day I will praise you!p> <p class="poetry">I will praise your name continually!<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">You open your hand,p> <p class="poetry">and fill every living thing with the food they desire.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Praise him, O sun and moon!p> <p class="poetry">Praise him, all you shiny stars!<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Praise the <sc>Lordsc> from the earth,p> <p class="poetry">you sea creatures and all you ocean depths,p>

<p class="poetry">Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">you hate<n id="2" /> all who behave wickedly.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">I am exhausted as I groan;p> <p class="poetry">all night long I drench my bed in tears;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">my tears saturate the cushion beneath me.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">for the <sc>Lordsc> has heard the sound of my weeping!<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">May all my enemies be humiliated<n id="1" /> and absolutely terrified!<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">May they turn back and be suddenly humiliated!p>

<p class="poetry">Then I will<n id="1" /> tell about all your praiseworthy acts;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">in the gates of Daughter Zion<n id="3" /> I will rejoice because of your deliverance.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">The wicked man is so arrogant he always thinks,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;God won&#8217;t hold me accountable; he doesn&#8217;t care.&#8221;<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">May the <sc>Lordsc> cut off<n id="1" /> all flattering lips,p> <p class="poetry">and the tongue that boasts!<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Everyone rejects God;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">they are all morally corrupt.<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">None of them does what is right,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">not even one!p>

<p class="poetry">All those who behave wickedly<n id="1" /> do not understand &#8211; <n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,p> <p class="poetry">and do not call out to the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="poetry">For I am aware of all his regulations,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and I do not reject his rules.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">The one true God acts in a faithful manner;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s promise<n id="2" /> is reliable;<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">he is a shield to all who take shelter<n id="4" /> in him.p>

<p class="poetry">Yet its voice<n id="1" /> echoes<n id="2" /> throughout the earth;p> <p class="poetry">its<n id="3" /> words carry<n id="4" /> to the distant horizon.<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">In the sky<n id="6" /> he has pitched a tent for the sun.<n id="7" />p>

<p class="poetry">Then we will shout for joy over your<n id="1" /> victory;p> <p class="poetry">we will rejoice<n id="2" /> in the name of our God!p> <p class="poetry">May the <sc>Lordsc> grant all your requests!p>

<p class="poetry">All who see me taunt<n id="1" /> me;p> <p class="poetry">they mock me<n id="2" /> and shake their heads.<n id="3" />p>
