Kiss the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, Lord; save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

The boastful will not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do injustice.

But rejoice, all who take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

My eye has wasted away with grief; It has grown old because of all my enemies.

Leave me, all you who practice injustice, For the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

All my enemies will be put to shame and greatly horrified; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be put to shame.

The Lord Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.

O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,

The Lord’s Glory and Mankind’s Dignity.

For the music director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Thanksgiving for God’s Justice.

For the music director; on Muth-labben. A Psalm of David.

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders.

So that I may tell of all Your praises, That in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.

The wicked will return to Sheol, All the nations who forget God.

The wicked, in his haughtiness, does not seek Him. There is no God in all his schemes.

His ways succeed at all times; Yet Your judgments are on high, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he snorts at them.

May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;

How long am I to feel anxious in my soul, With grief in my heart all the day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.

Do all the workers of injustice not know, Who devour my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord?

As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the majestic ones; all my delight is in them.

For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

The Lord Praised for Rescuing David.

For the music director. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day that the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,

“I love You, Lord, my strength.”

For all His judgments were before me, And I did not put away His statutes from me.
