You have set your glory^(B)
    in the heavens.^(C)
2 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold^(D) against your enemies,
    to silence the foe^(E) and the avenger.
³ When I consider your heavens,^(F)
    the work of your fingers,^(G)
the moon and the stars,^(H)
    which you have set in place,
⁴ what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?^[c](I)

⁵ You have made them^[d] a little lower than the angels^[e](J)
    and crowned them^[f] with glory and honor.^(K)
6 You made them rulers^(L) over the works of your hands;^(M)
    you put everything under their^[g] feet:^(N)
7 all flocks and herds,^(O)
    and the animals of the wild,^(P)
8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,^(Q)
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

⁹ Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!^(R)

³ The voice^(E) of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory^(F) thunders,^(G)
    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.^(H)
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;^(I)
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.^(J)
6 He makes Lebanon leap^(K) like a calf,
    Sirion^[b](L) like a young wild ox.^(M)
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
    with flashes of lightning.^(N)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
    the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.^(O)
9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks^[c](P)
    and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”^(Q)

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;^(R)
    the Lord is enthroned as King forever.^(S)
11 The Lord gives strength to his people;^(T)
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.^(U)

⁴ For the word of the Lord is right^(H) and true;^(I)
    he is faithful^(J) in all he does.
⁵ The Lord loves righteousness and justice;^(K)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.^(L)

⁶ By the word^(M) of the Lord the heavens were made,^(N)
    their starry host^(O) by the breath of his mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters^(P) of the sea into jars^[a];^(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear the Lord;^(R)
    let all the people of the world^(S) revere him.^(T)
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,^(U) and it stood firm.

¹⁰ The Lord foils^(V) the plans^(W) of the nations;^(X)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
¹¹ But the plans of the Lord stand firm^(Y) forever,
    the purposes^(Z) of his heart through all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,^(AA)
    the people he chose^(AB) for his inheritance.^(AC)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down^(AD)
    and sees all mankind;^(AE)
14 from his dwelling place^(AF) he watches
    all who live on earth—
¹⁵ he who forms^(AG) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.^(AH)

¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;^(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷ A horse^(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸ But the eyes^(AK) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(AL)
19 to deliver them from death^(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.^(AN)

²⁰ We wait^(AO) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
²¹ In him our hearts rejoice,^(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.^(AQ)
22 May your unfailing love^(AR) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.

⁵ You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,^(I)
    God our Savior,^(J)
the hope of all the ends of the earth^(K)
    and of the farthest seas,^(L)
6 who formed the mountains^(M) by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,^(N)
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,^(O)
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.^(P)
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.^(Q)

⁹ You care for the land and water it;^(R)
    you enrich it abundantly.^(S)
The streams of God are filled with water
    to provide the people with grain,^(T)
    for so you have ordained it.^[d]
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges;
    you soften it with showers^(U) and bless its crops.
¹¹ You crown the year with your bounty,^(V)
    and your carts overflow with abundance.^(W)
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow;^(X)
    the hills are clothed with gladness.^(Y)
13 The meadows are covered with flocks^(Z)
    and the valleys are mantled with grain;^(AA)
    they shout for joy and sing.^(AB)

⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee^(K) from your presence?
⁸ If I go up to the heavens,^(L) you are there;
    if I make my bed^(M) in the depths, you are there.
⁹ If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,^(N)
    your right hand^(O) will hold me fast.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”
¹² even the darkness will not be dark^(P) to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

¹³ For you created my inmost being;^(Q)
    you knit me together^(R) in my mother’s womb.^(S)
14 I praise you^(T) because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,^(U)
    I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made^(V) in the secret place,
    when I was woven together^(W) in the depths of the earth.^(X)
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained^(Y) for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts,^[a](Z) God!^(AA)
    How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ Were I to count them,^(AB)
    they would outnumber the grains of sand^(AC)—
    when I awake,^(AD) I am still with you.

¹⁹ If only you, God, would slay the wicked!^(AE)
    Away from me,^(AF) you who are bloodthirsty!^(AG)
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries^(AH) misuse your name.^(AI)
21 Do I not hate those^(AJ) who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor^(AK) those who are in rebellion against you?
²² I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.^(AL)
23 Search me,^(AM) God, and know my heart;^(AN)
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
²⁴ See if there is any offensive way^(AO) in me,
    and lead me^(AP) in the way everlasting.

³ Great^(F) is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(G)
    his greatness no one can fathom.^(H)
4 One generation^(I) commends your works to another;
    they tell^(J) of your mighty acts.^(K)
5 They speak of the glorious splendor^(L) of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.^[b](M)
6 They tell^(N) of the power of your awesome works—^(O)
    and I will proclaim^(P) your great deeds.^(Q)
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness^(R)
    and joyfully sing^(S) of your righteousness.^(T)

⁸ The Lord is gracious and compassionate,^(U)
    slow to anger and rich in love.^(V)

⁹ The Lord is good^(W) to all;
    he has compassion^(X) on all he has made.
¹⁰ All your works praise you,^(Y) Lord;
    your faithful people extol^(Z) you.^(AA)
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom^(AB)
    and speak of your might,^(AC)
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts^(AD)
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.^(AE)
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,^(AF)
    and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy^(AG) in all he promises^(AH)
    and faithful in all he does.^[c]
14 The Lord upholds^(AI) all who fall
    and lifts up all^(AJ) who are bowed down.^(AK)
15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food^(AL) at the proper time.

    he hears their cry^(AT) and saves them.^(AU)
20 The Lord watches over^(AV) all who love him,^(AW)
    but all the wicked he will destroy.^(AX)

² Praise him, all his angels;^(C)
    praise him, all his heavenly hosts.^(D)
3 Praise him, sun^(E) and moon;
    praise him, all you shining stars.
⁴ Praise him, you highest heavens^(F)
    and you waters above the skies.^(G)

⁵ Let them praise the name^(H) of the Lord,
    for at his command^(I) they were created,
⁶ and he established them for ever and ever—
    he issued a decree^(J) that will never pass away.

⁷ Praise the Lord^(K) from the earth,
    you great sea creatures^(L) and all ocean depths,^(M)
8 lightning and hail,^(N) snow and clouds,
    stormy winds that do his bidding,^(O)
9 you mountains and all hills,^(P)
    fruit trees and all cedars,
¹⁰ wild animals^(Q) and all cattle,
