New International Version
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done(A)
and bring back on them what they deserve.(B)
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,(C)
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.
6 Praise be to the Lord,(D)
for he has heard my cry for mercy.(E)
7 The Lord is my strength(F) and my shield;
my heart trusts(G) in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,(H)
and with my song I praise him.(I)
8 The Lord is the strength(J) of his people,
a fortress of salvation(K) for his anointed one.(L)
9 Save your people(M) and bless your inheritance;(N)
be their shepherd(O) and carry them(P) forever.

3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;(AQ)
you spared me from going down to the pit.(AR)

weeping(AY) may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.(AZ)

“I will never be shaken.”(BA)

you made my royal mountain[f] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,(BB)
I was dismayed.
