The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Righteous Judgments

To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.

I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah

Folly of the Godless, and God’s Final Triumph

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the Lord?

He who walks uprightly, And works righteousness, And speaks the truth in his heart;

Concerning the works of men, By the word of Your lips, I have kept away from the paths of the destroyer.

The Assurance of God’s Saving Work

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works.

Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.

Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.

Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.

For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth.

He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works.

There the workers of iniquity have fallen; They have been cast down and are not able to rise.

The Heritage of the Righteous and the Calamity of the Wicked

A Psalm of David.

Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.

Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us Cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, They are more than can be numbered.

Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth.

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon God?

No, in heart you work wickedness; You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.

Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.

Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,

All men shall fear, And shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider His doing.

Praise to God for His Awesome Works

To the Chief Musician. A Song. A Psalm.

Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!

Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.

But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.

And now they break down its carved work, all at once, With axes and hammers.

For God is my King from of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Thanksgiving for God’s Righteous Judgment

To the Chief Musician. Set to “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

The Consoling Memory of God’s Redemptive Works

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me.

I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.

We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His strength and His wonderful works that He has done.

That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments;

And forgot His works And His wonders that He had shown them.

In spite of this they still sinned, And did not believe in His wondrous works.

When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan;

Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works.

Will You work wonders for the dead? Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah

Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children.

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.

When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.

For behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For behold, Your enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work.

I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.

He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house; He who tells lies shall not continue in my presence.

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

He waters the hills from His upper chambers; The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

Man goes out to his work And to his labor until the evening.

O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions—

May the glory of the Lord endure forever; May the Lord rejoice in His works.

Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.

But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;

Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.

One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts.

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works.

The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works.

All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.
