³ He forgives all your sin;^(C)
He heals all your diseases.^(D)
4 He redeems your life from the Pit;^(E)
He crowns you with faithful love and compassion.^(F)
5 He satisfies you^[a] with goodness;^(G)
your youth is renewed like the eagle.^(H)

⁶ The Lord executes acts of righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.^(I)
7 He revealed His ways to Moses,^(J)
His deeds to the people of Israel.^(K)
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and rich in faithful love.^(L)
9 He will not always accuse us
or be angry forever.^(M)
10 He has not dealt with us as our sins deserve
or repaid us according to our offenses.^(N)

¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is His faithful love
toward those who fear Him.^(O)
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has He removed
our transgressions from us.^(P)
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.^(Q)
14 For He knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are dust.^(R)

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass—
he blooms like a flower of the field;^(S)
16 when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,
and its place is no longer known.^[b](T)
17 But from eternity to eternity
the Lord’s faithful love is toward those who fear Him,
and His righteousness toward the grandchildren^(U)
18 of those who keep His covenant,
who remember to observe His precepts.^(V)
19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
and His kingdom rules over all.^(W)

²⁰ Praise the Lord,
all His angels of great strength,
who do His word,
obedient to His command.^(X)
21 Praise the Lord, all His armies,
His servants who do His will.^(Y)
22 Praise the Lord, all His works
in all the places where He rules.^(Z)
My soul, praise Yahweh!

⁷ God has spoken in His sanctuary:^[c]
“I will triumph!
I will divide up Shechem.^(H)
I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.^(I)
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine,
and Ephraim is My helmet;^(J)
Judah is My scepter.^(K)
9 Moab is My washbasin;^(L)
I throw My sandal on Edom.^(M)
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”^(N)

¹⁰ Who will bring me to the fortified city?
Who will lead me to Edom?^(O)
11 God, haven’t You rejected us?
God, You do not march out with our armies.^(P)
12 Give us aid against the foe,
for human help is worthless.^(Q)
13 With God we will perform valiantly;^(R)
He will trample our foes.^(S)

² For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me;
they speak against me with lying tongues.^(U)
3 They surround me with hateful words
and attack me without cause.^(V)
4 In return for my love they accuse me,
but I continue to pray.^[d](W)
5 They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.^(X)

⁶ Set a wicked person over him;
let an accuser^[e] stand at his right hand.^(Y)
7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
and let his prayer be counted as sin.^(Z)
8 Let his days be few;
let another take over his position.^(AA)
9 Let his children be fatherless
and his wife a widow.^(AB)
10 Let his children wander as beggars,
searching for food far^[f] from their demolished homes.^(AC)
11 Let a creditor seize all he has;
let strangers plunder what he has worked for.^(AD)
12 Let no one show him kindness,
and let no one be gracious to his fatherless children.^(AE)
13 Let the line of his descendants be cut off;
let their name be blotted out in the next generation.^(AF)
14 Let his ancestors’ guilt
be remembered before the Lord,^(AG)
and do not let his mother’s sin be blotted out.^(AH)
15 Let their sins^[g] always remain before the Lord,
and let Him erase^[h] all memory of them from the earth.^(AI)

¹⁶ For he did not think to show kindness,
but pursued the afflicted, poor, and brokenhearted
in order to put them to death.^(AJ)
17 He loved cursing—let it fall on him;
he took no delight in blessing—let it be far from him.^(AK)
18 He wore cursing like his coat—
let it enter his body like water
and go into his bones like oil.^(AL)
19 Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself,
like a belt he always wears.^(AM)
20 Let this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
to those who speak evil against me.^(AN)

²¹ But You, Yahweh my Lord,
deal kindly with me because of Your name;^(AO)
deliver me because of the goodness of Your faithful love.^(AP)
22 For I am afflicted and needy;^(AQ)
my heart is wounded within me.^(AR)
23 I fade away like a lengthening shadow;^(AS)
I am shaken off like a locust.
²⁴ My knees are weak from fasting,
and my body is emaciated.^[i](AT)
25 I have become an object of ridicule to my accusers;^[j]
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.^(AU)

²⁶ Help me, Lord my God;
save me according to Your faithful love^(AV)
27 so they may know that this is Your hand
and that You, Lord, have done it.^(AW)
28 Though they curse, You will bless.
When they rise up, they will be put to shame,
but Your servant will rejoice.^(AX)
29 My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;
they will wear their shame like a cloak.^(AY)
30 I will fervently thank the Lord with my mouth;
I will praise Him in the presence of many.^(AZ)
31 For He stands at the right hand of the needy
to save him from those who would condemn him.^(BA)

⁵ The Lord is at Your right hand;
He will crush kings on the day of His anger.^(BG)
6 He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses;^(BH)
He will crush leaders over the entire world.^(BI)
7 He will drink from the brook by the road;^(BJ)
therefore, He will lift up His head.^(BK)

³ Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly joined together,^(C)
4 where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.^(D)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.^(E))
⁵ There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.^(F)

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper;^(G)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
prosperity within your fortresses.”^(H)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “Peace be with you.”^(I)
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.^(J)

⁶ Praise the Lord,
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.^(E)
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.^(F)
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth.^(G)
