⁴ Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff^(Q)
    that the wind blows away.
⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand^(R) in the judgment,^(S)
    nor sinners in the assembly^(T) of the righteous.

⁶ For the Lord watches over^(U) the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.^(V)

⁴ The One enthroned^(AB) in heaven laughs;^(AC)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ He rebukes them in his anger^(AD)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,^(AE) saying,
⁶ “I have installed my king^(AF)
    on Zion,^(AG) my holy mountain.^(AH)”

He said to me, “You are my son;^(AI)
    today I have become your father.^(AJ)
8 Ask me,
    and I will make the nations^(AK) your inheritance,^(AL)
    the ends of the earth^(AM) your possession.
⁹ You will break them with a rod of iron^[b];^(AN)
    you will dash them to pieces^(AO) like pottery.^(AP)”

¹⁰ Therefore, you kings, be wise;^(AQ)
    be warned, you rulers^(AR) of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear^(AS)
    and celebrate his rule^(AT) with trembling.^(AU)
12 Kiss his son,^(AV) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath^(AW) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed^(AX) are all who take refuge^(AY) in him.

³ But you, Lord, are a shield^(BB) around me,
    my glory, the One who lifts my head high.^(BC)
4 I call out to the Lord,^(BD)
    and he answers me from his holy mountain.^(BE)

⁵ I lie down and sleep;^(BF)
    I wake again,^(BG) because the Lord sustains me.
⁶ I will not fear^(BH) though tens of thousands
    assail me on every side.^(BI)

⁷ Arise,^(BJ) Lord!
    Deliver me,^(BK) my God!
Strike^(BL) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth^(BM) of the wicked.

⁸ From the Lord comes deliverance.^(BN)
    May your blessing^(BO) be on your people.

² How long will you people turn my glory^(BT) into shame?^(BU)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods^[f]?^[g](BV)
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant^(BW) for himself;
    the Lord hears^(BX) when I call to him.

⁴ Tremble and^[h] do not sin;^(BY)
    when you are on your beds,^(BZ)
    search your hearts and be silent.
⁵ Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.^(CA)

⁶ Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.^(CB)
7 Fill my heart^(CC) with joy^(CD)
    when their grain and new wine^(CE) abound.

⁸ In peace^(CF) I will lie down and sleep,^(CG)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.^(CH)

³ In the morning,^(CM) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.^(CN)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people^(CO) are not welcome.
⁵ The arrogant^(CP) cannot stand^(CQ)
    in your presence.
You hate^(CR) all who do wrong;
⁶     you destroy those who tell lies.^(CS)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
⁷ But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence^(CT) I bow down^(CU)
    toward your holy temple.^(CV)

⁸ Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness^(CW)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight^(CX) before me.
⁹ Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;^(CY)
    with their tongues they tell lies.^(CZ)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,^(DA)
    for they have rebelled^(DB) against you.
¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.^(DC)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name^(DD) may rejoice in you.^(DE)

¹² Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;^(DF)
    you surround them^(DG) with your favor as with a shield.^(DH)
