⁵ God ^(I)has gone up with a shout,
    the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises!
    Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
⁷ For God is ^(J)the King of all the earth;
    sing praises ^(K)with a psalm!^[a]

⁸ God ^(L)reigns over the nations;
    God sits on his holy throne.
^9 (M)The princes of the peoples gather
    as the people of the God of Abraham.
For ^(N)the shields of the earth belong to God;
    he is highly exalted!

⁴ For behold, ^(V)the kings assembled;
    they came on together.
⁵ As soon as they saw it, they were astounded;
    they were in panic; they took to flight.
^6 (W)Trembling took hold of them there,
    anguish ^(X)as of a woman in labor.
⁷ By ^(Y)the east wind you ^(Z)shattered
    the ships of ^(AA)Tarshish.
⁸ As we have heard, so have we seen
    in the city of the Lord of hosts,
in ^(AB)the city of our God,
    which God will ^(AC)establish forever. Selah

⁹ We have thought on your ^(AD)steadfast love, O God,
    in the midst of your temple.
¹⁰ As your ^(AE)name, O God,
    so your praise reaches to ^(AF)the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
¹¹     Let Mount ^(AG)Zion be glad!
Let ^(AH)the daughters of Judah rejoice
    because of your judgments!

¹² Walk about Zion, go around her,
    number her towers,
¹³ consider well her ^(AI)ramparts,
    go through her citadels,
^(AJ)that you may tell the next generation
¹⁴     that this is God,
our God forever and ever.
    He will ^(AK)guide us forever.^[b]

^5 (AR)Why should I fear in ^(AS)times of trouble,
    when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
⁶ those who ^(AT)trust in their wealth
    and boast of the abundance of their riches?
⁷ Truly no man ^(AU)can ransom another,
    or ^(AV)give to God ^(AW)the price of his life,
⁸ for ^(AX)the ransom of their life is costly
    and can never suffice,
⁹ that he should live on forever
    and ^(AY)never see the pit.

¹⁰ For he sees ^(AZ)that even the wise die;
    ^(BA)the fool and the stupid alike must perish
    and ^(BB)leave their wealth to others.
¹¹ Their ^(BC)graves are their homes forever,^[c]
    their dwelling places ^(BD)to all generations,
    though they ^(BE)called lands by their own names.
¹² Man in his pomp ^(BF)will not remain;
    ^(BG)he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³ This is the path of those who have ^(BH)foolish confidence;
    yet after them people approve of their boasts.^[d] Selah
¹⁴ Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
    death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright ^(BI)shall rule over them in the morning.
    ^(BJ)Their form shall be consumed ^(BK)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
¹⁵ But God will ^(BL)ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
    for he will ^(BM)receive me. Selah

¹⁶ Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
    when the glory of his house increases.
^17 (BN)For when he dies he will ^(BO)carry nothing away;
    his glory will not go down after him.
¹⁸ For though, while he lives, he counts himself ^(BP)blessed—
    and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
¹⁹ his soul will ^(BQ)go to the generation of his fathers,
    who will never again ^(BR)see light.
^20 (BS)Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    ^(H)my King and my God.
^4 (I)Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever ^(J)singing your praise! Selah

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    ^(K)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^[b]
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    ^(L)the early rain also covers it with ^(M)pools.
⁷ They go ^(N)from strength to strength;
    each one ^(O)appears before God in Zion.

⁸ O ^(P)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
^9 (Q)Behold our ^(R)shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!

¹⁰ For a day ^(S)in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be ^(T)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹ For the Lord God is ^(U)a sun and ^(V)shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
^(W)No good thing does he withhold
    from those who ^(X)walk uprightly.
¹² O Lord of hosts,
    ^(Y)blessed is the one who trusts in you!

^4 (G)Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation toward us!
^5 (H)Will you be angry with us forever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶ Will you not ^(I)revive us again,
    that your people may ^(J)rejoice in you?
⁷ Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.

^8 (K)Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for he will ^(L)speak peace to his people, to his ^(M)saints;
    but let them not ^(N)turn back to ^(O)folly.
⁹ Surely his ^(P)salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that ^(Q)glory may dwell in our land.

^10 (R)Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
    ^(S)righteousness and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
¹² Yes, ^(T)the Lord will give what is good,
    and our land ^(U)will yield its increase.
^13 (V)Righteousness will go before him
    and make his footsteps a way.

^6 (L)The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all ^(M)the peoples see his glory.
⁷ All worshipers of images are ^(N)put to shame,
    who make their boast in ^(O)worthless idols;
    ^(P)worship him, all you gods!

⁸ Zion hears and ^(Q)is glad,
    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
    because of your judgments, O Lord.
⁹ For you, O Lord, are ^(R)most high over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above ^(S)all gods.

¹⁰ O you who love the Lord, ^(T)hate evil!
    He ^(U)preserves the lives of his ^(V)saints;
    he ^(W)delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
^11 (X)Light ^(Y)is sown^[a] for the righteous,
    and joy for the upright in heart.
^12 (Z)Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
    and ^(AA)give thanks to his holy name!
