³ For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;
You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.
^4 (B)He asked life from You, and You gave it to him—
Length of days forever and ever.
⁵ His glory is great in Your salvation;
Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.
⁶ For You have made him most blessed forever;
^(C)You have made him ^[a]exceedingly glad with Your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in the Lord,
And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be ^[b]moved.

⁸ Your hand will find all Your enemies;
Your right hand will find those who hate You.
⁹ You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger;
The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath,
And the fire shall devour them.
¹⁰ Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth,
And their ^[c]descendants from among the sons of men.
¹¹ For they intended evil against You;
They devised a plot which they are not able to ^(D)perform.
¹² Therefore You will make them turn their back;
You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

¹³ Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power.

³ But You are holy,
Enthroned in the ^(F)praises of Israel.
⁴ Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
⁵ They cried to You, and were delivered;
^(G)They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

⁶ But I am ^(H)a worm, and no man;
^(I)A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
^7 (J)All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They ^[e]shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
⁸ “He^{(K) [f]}trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
^(L)Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

^9 (M)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
^(N)You have been My God.
¹¹ Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

^12 (O)Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of ^(P)Bashan have encircled Me.
^13 (Q)They ^[g]gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water,
^(R)And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted ^[h]within Me.
^15 (S)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^(T)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
^(U)They^[i] pierced My hands and My feet;
¹⁷ I can count all My bones.
^(V)They look and stare at Me.
^18 (W)They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
²⁰ Deliver Me from the sword,
^(X)My^[j] precious life from the power of the dog.
^21 (Y)Save Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

^(Z)You have answered Me.

^22 (AA)I will declare Your name to ^(AB)My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
^23 (AC)You who fear the Lord, praise Him!
All you ^[k]descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But ^(AD)when He cried to Him, He heard.

^25 (AE)My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
^(AF)I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
²⁶ The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!

²⁷ All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the families of the ^[l]nations
Shall worship before ^[m]You.
^28 (AG)For the kingdom is the Lord’s,
And He rules over the nations.

^29 (AH)All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;
^(AI)All those who go down to ^[n]the dust
Shall bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

³⁰ A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
³¹ They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.
