⁶ Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
⁷ In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.

^8 (C)Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
⁹ All nations whom You have made
Shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And shall glorify Your name.
¹⁰ For You are great, and ^(D)do wondrous things;
^(E)You alone are God.

^11 (F)Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
^[c]Unite my heart to fear Your name.
¹² I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
¹³ For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of ^[d]Sheol.

¹⁴ O God, the proud have risen against me,
And a mob of violent men have sought my life,
And have not set You before them.
¹⁵ But ^(G)You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

¹⁶ Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
¹⁷ Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

O Lord my God, You are very great:
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
² Who cover Yourself with light as with a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

^3 (C)He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
⁴ Who makes His angels spirits,
His ^[a]ministers a flame of fire.

⁵ You who ^[b]laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
⁶ You ^(D)covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
⁷ At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
^8 [c]They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
⁹ You have ^(E)set a boundary that they may not pass over,
^(F)That they may not return to cover the earth.

¹⁰ He sends the springs into the valleys;
They flow among the hills.
¹¹ They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
¹² By them the birds of the heavens have their home;
They sing among the branches.
^13 (G)He waters the hills from His upper chambers;
The earth is satisfied with ^(H)the fruit of Your works.

^14 (I)He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,
And vegetation for the service of man,
That he may bring forth ^(J)food from the earth,
¹⁵ And ^(K)wine that makes glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face shine,
And bread which strengthens man’s heart.
¹⁶ The trees of the Lord are full of sap,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
¹⁷ Where the birds make their nests;
The stork has her home in the fir trees.
¹⁸ The high hills are for the wild goats;
The cliffs are a refuge for the ^(L)rock^[d] badgers.

^19 (M)He appointed the moon for seasons;
The ^(N)sun knows its going down.
^20 (O)You make darkness, and it is night,
In which all the beasts of the forest creep about.
^21 (P)The young lions roar after their prey,
And seek their food from God.
²² When the sun rises, they gather together
And lie down in their dens.
²³ Man goes out to ^(Q)his work
And to his labor until the evening.

^24 (R)O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your ^(S)possessions—
²⁵ This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
²⁶ There the ships sail about;
There is that ^(T)Leviathan^[e]
Which You have ^[f]made to play there.

^27 (U)These all wait for You,
That You may give them their food in due season.
²⁸ What You give them they gather in;
You open Your hand, they are filled with good.
²⁹ You hide Your face, they are troubled;
^(V)You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
^30 (W)You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the earth.

³¹ May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord ^(X)rejoice in His works.
³² He looks on the earth, and it ^(Y)trembles;
^(Z)He touches the hills, and they smoke.

^33 (AA)I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
³⁴ May my ^(AB)meditation be sweet to Him;
I will be glad in the Lord.
³⁵ May ^(AC)sinners be consumed from the earth,
And the wicked be no more.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!
^[g]Praise the Lord!

^(T)“If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

^(E)“The Lord is my rock and my ^(F)fortress and my deliverer;
³ The God of my strength, ^(G)in whom I will trust;
My ^(H)shield and the ^(I)horn^[a] of my salvation,
My ^(J)stronghold and my ^(K)refuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.
⁴ I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

⁵ “When the waves of death surrounded me,
The floods of ungodliness ^[b]made me afraid.
⁶ The ^(L)sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;
The snares of death confronted me.
⁷ In my distress ^(M)I called upon the Lord,
And cried out to my God;
He ^(N)heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry entered His ears.

⁸ “Then ^(O)the earth shook and trembled;
^(P)The foundations of ^[c]heaven quaked and were shaken,
Because He was angry.
⁹ Smoke went up from His nostrils,
And devouring ^(Q)fire from His mouth;
Coals were kindled by it.
¹⁰ He ^(R)bowed the heavens also, and came down
With ^(S)darkness under His feet.
¹¹ He rode upon a cherub, and flew;
And He ^[d]was seen ^(T)upon the wings of the wind.
¹² He made ^(U)darkness canopies around Him,
Dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
¹³ From the brightness before Him
Coals of fire were kindled.

¹⁴ “The Lord ^(V)thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.
¹⁵ He sent out ^(W)arrows and scattered them;
Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them.
¹⁶ Then the channels of the sea ^(X)were seen,
The foundations of the world were uncovered,
At the ^(Y)rebuke of the Lord,
At the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

¹⁷ “He^(Z) sent from above, He took me,
He drew me out of many waters.
¹⁸ He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me;
For they were too strong for me.
¹⁹ They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
But the Lord was my ^(AA)support.
^20 (AB)He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He ^(AC)delighted in me.

²¹ “The^(AD) Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness;
According to the ^(AE)cleanness of my hands
He has recompensed me.
²² For I have ^(AF)kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.
²³ For all His ^(AG)judgments were before me;
And as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
²⁴ I was also ^(AH)blameless before Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.
²⁵ Therefore ^(AI)the Lord has ^[e]recompensed me according to my righteousness,
According to ^[f]my cleanness in His eyes.

²⁶ “With ^(AJ)the merciful You will show Yourself merciful;
With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
²⁷ With the pure You will show Yourself pure;
And ^(AK)with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd.
²⁸ You will save the ^(AL)humble^[g] people;
But Your eyes are on ^(AM)the haughty, that You may bring them down.

²⁹ “For You are my ^(AN)lamp, O Lord;
The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.
³⁰ For by You I can run against a troop;
By my God I can leap over a ^(AO)wall.
³¹ As for God, ^(AP)His way is perfect;
^(AQ)The word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

³² “For ^(AR)who is God, except the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?
^33 [h]God is my ^(AS)strength and power,
And He ^(AT)makes ^[i]my way ^(AU)perfect.
³⁴ He makes ^[j]my feet ^(AV)like the feet of deer,
And ^(AW)sets me on my high places.
³⁵ He teaches my hands ^[k]to make war,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

³⁶ “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;
Your gentleness has made me great.
³⁷ You ^(AX)enlarged my path under me;
So my feet did not slip.

³⁸ “I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;
Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.
³⁹ And I have destroyed them and wounded them,
So that they could not rise;
They have fallen ^(AY)under my feet.
⁴⁰ For You have ^(AZ)armed me with strength for the battle;
You have ^[l]subdued under me ^(BA)those who rose against me.
⁴¹ You have also ^[m]given me the ^(BB)necks of my enemies,
So that I destroyed those who hated me.
⁴² They looked, but there was none to save;
Even ^(BC)to the Lord, but He did not answer them.
⁴³ Then I beat them as fine ^(BD)as the dust of the earth;
I trod them ^(BE)like dirt in the streets,
And I ^[n]spread them out.

⁴⁴ “You^(BF) have also delivered me from the ^[o]strivings of my people;
You have kept me as the ^(BG)head of the nations.
^(BH)A people I have not known shall serve me.
⁴⁵ The foreigners submit to me;
As soon as they hear, they obey me.
⁴⁶ The foreigners fade away,
And ^[p]come frightened ^(BI)from their hideouts.

⁴⁷ “The Lord lives!
Blessed be my Rock!
Let God be exalted,
The ^(BJ)Rock of my salvation!
⁴⁸ It is God who avenges me,
And ^(BK)subdues the peoples under me;
⁴⁹ He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the ^(BL)violent man.
⁵⁰ Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among ^(BM)the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your ^(BN)name.

⁵¹ “He^(BO) is the tower of salvation to His king,
And shows mercy to His ^(BP)anointed,
To David and ^(BQ)his descendants forevermore.”
