² How long will you people turn my glory^(E) into shame?^(F)
    How long will you love delusions and seek false gods^[b]?^[c](G)
3 Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant^(H) for himself;
    the Lord hears^(I) when I call to him.

⁴ Tremble and^[d] do not sin;^(J)
    when you are on your beds,^(K)
    search your hearts and be silent.
⁵ Offer the sacrifices of the righteous
    and trust in the Lord.^(L)

⁶ Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
    Let the light of your face shine on us.^(M)
7 Fill my heart^(N) with joy^(O)
    when their grain and new wine^(P) abound.

⁸ In peace^(Q) I will lie down and sleep,^(R)
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.^(S)

³ In the morning,^(E) Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.^(F)
4 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people^(G) are not welcome.
⁵ The arrogant^(H) cannot stand^(I)
    in your presence.
You hate^(J) all who do wrong;
⁶     you destroy those who tell lies.^(K)
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.
⁷ But I, by your great love,
    can come into your house;
in reverence^(L) I bow down^(M)
    toward your holy temple.^(N)

⁸ Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness^(O)
    because of my enemies—
    make your way straight^(P) before me.
⁹ Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;^(Q)
    with their tongues they tell lies.^(R)
10 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,^(S)
    for they have rebelled^(T) against you.
¹¹ But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
    let them ever sing for joy.^(U)
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name^(V) may rejoice in you.^(W)

¹² Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous;^(X)
    you surround them^(Y) with your favor as with a shield.^(Z)

⁴ Turn,^(H) Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.^(I)
5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?^(J)

⁶ I am worn out^(K) from my groaning.^(L)

All night long I flood my bed with weeping^(M)
    and drench my couch with tears.^(N)
7 My eyes grow weak^(O) with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

⁸ Away from me,^(P) all you who do evil,^(Q)
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.
⁹ The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;^(R)
    the Lord accepts my prayer.
¹⁰ All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;^(S)
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.^(T)

³ When I kept silent,^(D)
    my bones wasted away^(E)
    through my groaning^(F) all day long.
⁴ For day and night
    your hand was heavy^(G) on me;
my strength was sapped^(H)
    as in the heat of summer.^[b]

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.^(I)
I said, “I will confess^(J)
    my transgressions^(K) to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.^(L)

⁶ Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;^(M)
surely the rising^(N) of the mighty waters^(O)
    will not reach them.^(P)
7 You are my hiding place;^(Q)
    you will protect me from trouble^(R)
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.^(S)

⁸ I will instruct^(T) you and teach you^(U) in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you with my loving eye on^(V) you.
⁹ Do not be like the horse or the mule,
    which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle^(W)
    or they will not come to you.
¹⁰ Many are the woes of the wicked,^(X)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts^(Y) in him.

¹¹ Rejoice in the Lord^(Z) and be glad, you righteous;
    sing, all you who are upright in heart!
