² From the ends of the earth I call to you,
    I call as my heart grows faint;^(C)
    lead me to the rock^(D) that is higher than I.
³ For you have been my refuge,^(E)
    a strong tower against the foe.^(F)

⁴ I long to dwell^(G) in your tent forever
    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.^[b](H)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;^(I)
    you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.^(J)

⁶ Increase the days of the king’s life,^(K)
    his years for many generations.^(L)
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;^(M)
    appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.^(N)

⁸ Then I will ever sing in praise of your name^(O)
    and fulfill my vows day after day.^(P)

³ How long will you assault me?
    Would all of you throw me down—
    this leaning wall,^(G) this tottering fence?
⁴ Surely they intend to topple me
    from my lofty place;
    they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
    but in their hearts they curse.^[b](H)

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(I)
    my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[c];
    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(J)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;^(K)
    pour out your hearts to him,^(L)
    for God is our refuge.

⁹ Surely the lowborn^(M) are but a breath,^(N)
    the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(O) they are nothing;
    together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion^(P)
    or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(Q)
though your riches increase,
    do not set your heart on them.^(R)

¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
    two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(S)
12     and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(T)
and, “You reward everyone
    according to what they have done.”^(U)

41 ^[a]“Can you pull in Leviathan^(A) with a fishhook^(B)
    or tie down its tongue with a rope?
² Can you put a cord through its nose^(C)
    or pierce its jaw with a hook?^(D)
3 Will it keep begging you for mercy?^(E)
    Will it speak to you with gentle words?
⁴ Will it make an agreement with you
    for you to take it as your slave for life?^(F)
5 Can you make a pet of it like a bird
    or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?
⁶ Will traders barter for it?
    Will they divide it up among the merchants?
⁷ Can you fill its hide with harpoons
    or its head with fishing spears?^(G)
8 If you lay a hand on it,
    you will remember the struggle and never do it again!^(H)
9 Any hope of subduing it is false;
    the mere sight of it is overpowering.^(I)
10 No one is fierce enough to rouse it.^(J)
    Who then is able to stand against me?^(K)
11 Who has a claim against me that I must pay?^(L)
    Everything under heaven belongs to me.^(M)
