⁴ The ungodly are not so,
But are ^(G)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶ For ^(H)the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

⁴ For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
⁵ He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

^6 (B)By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the ^(C)host of them ^(D)by the breath of His mouth.
^7 (E)He gathers the waters of the sea together ^[b]as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.

⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
⁹ For ^(F)He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

^10 (G)The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
^11 (H)The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has ^(I)chosen as His own inheritance.

^13 (J)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
¹⁴ From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
¹⁵ He fashions their hearts individually;
^(K)He ^[c]considers all their works.

^16 (L)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
^17 (M)A horse is a ^[d]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

^18 (N)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
¹⁹ To deliver their soul from death,
And ^(O)to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
²¹ For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
²² Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

⁵ Come and see the works of God;
He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
^6 (E)He turned the sea into dry land;
^(F)They went through the river on foot.
There we will rejoice in Him.
⁷ He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah

⁸ Oh, bless our God, you peoples!
And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
⁹ Who keeps our soul among the living,
And does not allow our feet to ^[a]be moved.
¹⁰ For ^(G)You, O God, have tested us;
^(H)You have refined us as silver is refined.
^11 (I)You brought us into the net;
You laid affliction on our backs.
^12 (J)You have caused men to ride over our heads;
^(K)We went through fire and through water;
But You brought us out to ^[b]rich fulfillment.

^13 (L)I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
^(M)I will pay You my ^[c]vows,
¹⁴ Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.
¹⁵ I will offer You burnt sacrifices of fat animals,
With the sweet aroma of rams;
I will offer bulls with goats. Selah

¹⁶ Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
¹⁷ I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was ^[d]extolled with my tongue.
^18 (N)If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
¹⁹ But certainly God ^(O)has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!

³ Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
⁴ Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!
For ^(S)You shall judge the people righteously,
And govern the nations on earth. Selah

⁵ Let the peoples praise You, O God;
Let all the peoples praise You.
^6 (T)Then the earth shall ^[f]yield her increase;
God, our own God, shall bless us.
⁷ God shall bless us,
And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

^4 (F)Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
⁵ For You are ^(G)my hope, O Lord God;
You are my trust from my youth.
^6 (H)By You I have been ^[b]upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You.

^7 (I)I have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my strong refuge.
⁸ Let ^(J)my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your glory all the day.

⁹ Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
¹⁰ For my enemies speak against me;
And those who lie in wait for my life ^(K)take counsel together,
¹¹ Saying, “God has forsaken him;
Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”

^12 (L)O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, ^(M)make haste to help me!
¹³ Let them be ^[c]confounded and consumed
Who are adversaries of my life;
Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
Who seek my hurt.

¹⁴ But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet more and more.
¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
¹⁶ I will go in the strength of the Lord God;
I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.

¹⁷ O God, You have taught me from my ^(N)youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
¹⁸ Now also ^(O)when I am old and grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.

¹⁹ Also ^(P)Your righteousness, O God, is ^[d]very high,
You who have done great things;
^(Q)O God, who is like You?
^20 (R)You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
^(S)Shall revive me again,
And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
²¹ You shall increase my greatness,
And comfort me on every side.

²² Also ^(T)with the lute I will praise You—
And Your faithfulness, O my God!
To You I will sing with the harp,
O ^(U)Holy One of Israel.
²³ My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You,
And ^(V)my soul, which You have redeemed.
²⁴ My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;
For they are confounded,
For they are brought to shame
Who seek my hurt.
