I called ¹  to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, ²  and I was delivered from my enemies.

Then we will not turn away from you. Revive us and we will pray to you! ¹ 

Pray to me when you are in trouble! ¹  I will deliver you, and you will honor me!” ² 

Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, ¹  on the kingdoms that do not pray to you! ² 

Certainly ¹  O Lord, you are kind ²  and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you.

When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor.

Why does the wicked man reject God? ¹  He says to himself, ²  “You ³  will not hold me accountable.” ⁴ 

My enemies will turn back when I cry out to you for help; ¹  I know that God is on my side. ² 

May his fame endure! ¹  May his dynasty last as long as the sun remains in the sky! ²  May they use his name when they formulate their blessings! ³  May all nations consider him to be favored by God! ⁴ 

I cried out to you, “Deliver me, so that I can keep ¹  your rules.”

I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening. ¹ 

Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. ¹  They name their lands after themselves, ² 

By David. To you, O Lord, I cry out! My protector, ²  do not ignore me! ³  If you do not respond to me, ⁴  I will join ⁵  those who are descending into the grave. ⁶ 

Break the arm ¹  of the wicked and evil man! Hold him accountable for his wicked deeds, ²  which he thought you would not discover. ³ 

He summons the heavens above, as well as the earth, so that he might judge his people. ¹ 

Have mercy on me, ¹  O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long!

A song of ascents. ²  In my distress I cried out to the Lord and he answered me.

A song of ascents. ²  From the deep water ³  I cry out to you, O Lord.

My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up. ¹ 

Hear me, ¹  O Lord, when I cry out! Have mercy on me and answer me!
