-
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
-
But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
-
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
-
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
-
Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.
-
You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet:
-
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
-
those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
-
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
-
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
-
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is present in the company of the righteous.
-
The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
-
I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
-
Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
-
May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests.
-
All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.
-
for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations.
-
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
-
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
-
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
-
The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
-
The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
-
Psalm 30
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David.
I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
-
may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
-
Do not let those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; do not let those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
