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^(F) in heaven laughs;^(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
⁵ He rebukes them in his anger^(H)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,^(I) saying,
⁶ “I have installed my king^(J)
    on Zion,^(K) my holy mountain.^(L)”

He said to me, “You are my son;^(M)
    today I have become your father.^(N)
8 Ask me,
    and I will make the nations^(O) your inheritance,^(P)
    the ends of the earth^(Q) your possession.
⁹ You will break them with a rod of iron^[b];^(R)
    you will dash them to pieces^(S) like pottery.^(T)”

¹⁰ Therefore, you kings, be wise;^(U)
    be warned, you rulers^(V) of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear^(W)
    and celebrate his rule^(X) with trembling.^(Y)
12 Kiss his son,^(Z) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath^(AA) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed^(AB) are all who take refuge^(AC) in him.

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

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

⁷ Arise,^(K) Lord!
    Deliver me,^(L) my God!
Strike^(M) all my enemies on the jaw;
    break the teeth^(N) of the wicked.

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

I will extol the Lord^(A) with all my heart^(B)
    in the council^(C) of the upright and in the assembly.^(D)

² Great are the works^(E) of the Lord;
    they are pondered by all^(F) who delight in them.
³ Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
    and his righteousness endures^(G) forever.
⁴ He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
    the Lord is gracious and compassionate.^(H)
5 He provides food^(I) for those who fear him;^(J)
    he remembers his covenant^(K) forever.

⁶ He has shown his people the power of his works,^(L)
    giving them the lands of other nations.^(M)
7 The works of his hands^(N) are faithful and just;
    all his precepts are trustworthy.^(O)
8 They are established for ever^(P) and ever,
    enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
⁹ He provided redemption^(Q) for his people;
    he ordained his covenant forever—
    holy and awesome^(R) is his name.

¹⁰ The fear of the Lord^(S) is the beginning of wisdom;^(T)
    all who follow his precepts have good understanding.^(U)
    To him belongs eternal praise.^(V)
