Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
-
Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
-
The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong;
-
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.
-
I am worn out from my groaning. All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.
-
My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes.
-
Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.
-
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—

Psalm 8
For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.
Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 9
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A psalm of David.
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
-
The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.
-
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
-
His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
-
May the Lord silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue—
-
The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
-
All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; they never call on the Lord.
-
I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
-

All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.
