⁴ They pour out arrogant^(G) words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.^(H)
5 They crush your people,^(I) Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.^(J)
6 They slay the widow^(K) and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.^(L)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;^(M)
    the God of Jacob^(N) takes no notice.”

⁸ Take notice, you senseless ones^(O) among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
⁹ Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?^(P)
10 Does he who disciplines^(Q) nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches^(R) mankind lack knowledge?
¹¹ The Lord knows all human plans;^(S)
    he knows that they are futile.^(T)

¹² Blessed is the one you discipline,^(U) Lord,
    the one you teach^(V) from your law;
¹³ you grant them relief from days of trouble,^(W)
    till a pit^(X) is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not reject his people;^(Y)
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
¹⁵ Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,^(Z)
    and all the upright in heart^(AA) will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up^(AB) for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?^(AC)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,^(AD)
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.^(AE)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,^(AF)”
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
¹⁹ When anxiety^(AG) was great within me,
    your consolation^(AH) brought me joy.

²⁰ Can a corrupt throne^(AI) be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?^(AJ)
21 The wicked band together^(AK) against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent^(AL) to death.^(AM)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock^(AN) in whom I take refuge.^(AO)
23 He will repay^(AP) them for their sins
    and destroy^(AQ) them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

³ For the Lord is the great God,^(AY)
    the great King^(AZ) above all gods.^(BA)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,^(BB)
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
⁵ The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.^(BC)

⁶ Come, let us bow down^(BD) in worship,^(BE)
    let us kneel^(BF) before the Lord our Maker;^(BG)
7 for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,^(BH)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
⁸ “Do not harden your hearts^(BI) as you did at Meribah,^[a](BJ)
    as you did that day at Massah^[b] in the wilderness,^(BK)
9 where your ancestors tested^(BL) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
¹⁰ For forty years^(BM) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,^(BN)
    and they have not known my ways.’^(BO)
11 So I declared on oath^(BP) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”^(BQ)

⁴ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(BY)
    he is to be feared^(BZ) above all gods.^(CA)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,^(CB)
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(CC)
6 Splendor and majesty^(CD) are before him;
    strength and glory^(CE) are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord,^(CF) all you families of nations,^(CG)
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering^(CH) and come into his courts.^(CI)
9 Worship the Lord^(CJ) in the splendor of his^[c] holiness;^(CK)
    tremble^(CL) before him, all the earth.^(CM)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.^(CN)”
    The world is firmly established,^(CO) it cannot be moved;^(CP)
    he will judge^(CQ) the peoples with equity.^(CR)

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice,^(CS) let the earth be glad;^(CT)
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
¹² Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest^(CU) sing for joy.^(CV)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge^(CW) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness^(CX)
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.^(CY)
