1  O Lord, ^wrebuke me not in your anger,

nor ^xdiscipline me in your wrath.

2  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

^yheal me, O Lord, ^zfor my bones are troubled.

3  My ^asoul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—^bhow long?

4  Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5  For in ^cdeath there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

6  I am ^dweary with my ^emoaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

7  My ^feye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

8  ^gDepart from me, all you ^hworkers of evil,

for the Lord ⁱhas heard the sound of my weeping.

9  The Lord has heard my ^jplea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10  All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall ^kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.

1  ^vHow long, O Lord? Will you ^wforget me forever?

How long will you ^xhide your face from me?

2  How long must I take ^ycounsel in my soul

and have sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3  ^zConsider and answer me, O Lord my God;

^alight up my eyes, lest ^bI sleep the sleep of death,

4  ^clest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”

lest my foes rejoice because I am ^dshaken.

5  But I have ^etrusted in your steadfast love;

my heart shall ^frejoice in your salvation.

6  I will sing to the Lord,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.

1  ^rBe gracious to me, O God, for man ^stramples on me;

all day long an attacker oppresses me;

2  my enemies trample on me all day long,

for many attack me proudly.

3  When I am afraid,

I ^tput my trust in you.

4  In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; ^uI shall not be afraid.

What can flesh do to me?

5  All day long they injure my cause;²

all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6  They ^vstir up strife, they ^wlurk;

they ^xwatch my steps,

as they have waited for my life.

7  For their crime will they escape?

^yIn wrath ^zcast down the peoples, O God!

8  You have kept count of my tossings;³

^aput my tears in your bottle.

^bAre they not in your book?

9  Then my enemies will turn back

^cin the day when I call.

This I know, that^{4 d}God is for me.

10  In God, whose word I praise,

in the Lord, whose word I praise,

11  in God I trust; ^uI shall not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

12  I must perform my ^evows to you, O God;

I will ^erender thank offerings to you.

13  ^fFor you have delivered my soul from death,

yes, my feet from falling,

^gthat I may walk before God

^hin the light of life.

1  O God, you are my God; ^tearnestly I seek you;

^umy soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in ^va dry and weary land where there is no water.

2  So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding ^wyour power and glory.

3  Because your ^xsteadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

4  So I will bless you ^yas long as I live;

in your ^zname I will ^alift up my hands.

5  My soul will be ^bsatisfied as with fat and rich food,

and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

6  when I remember you ^cupon my bed,

and meditate on you in ^cthe watches of the night;

7  for you have been my help,

and in ^dthe shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8  My soul ^eclings to you;

your right hand ^fupholds me.

9  But those who seek to destroy my life

^gshall go down into ^hthe depths of the earth;

10  they shall be given over to the power of the sword;

they shall be a portion for jackals.

11  But ⁱthe king shall rejoice in God;

all who ^jswear by him shall exult,

^kfor the mouths of ^lliars will be stopped.

1  I ^acry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

2  ^bIn the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

in ^cthe night my ^dhand is stretched out without wearying;

my soul ^erefuses to be comforted.

3  When I remember God, I ^fmoan;

when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4  You hold my eyelids open;

I am so ^gtroubled that I cannot speak.

5  I consider ^hthe days of old,

the years long ago.

6  I said,¹ “Let me remember my ⁱsong in the night;

let me ^jmeditate in my heart.”

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

7  “Will the Lord ^kspurn forever,

and never again ^lbe favorable?

8  Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his ^mpromises at an end for all time?

9  ⁿHas God forgotten to be gracious?

^oHas he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

10  Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the ^pright hand of the Most High.”²

11  I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will ^qremember your wonders of old.

12  I will ponder all your ^rwork,

and meditate on your ^smighty deeds.

13  Your way, O God, is ^tholy.

^uWhat god is great like our God?

14  You are the God who ^vworks wonders;

you have ^wmade known your might among the peoples.

15  You ^xwith your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16  When ^ythe waters saw you, O God,

when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

indeed, the deep trembled.

17  The clouds poured out water;

the skies ^zgave forth thunder;

your ^aarrows flashed on every side.

18  ^bThe crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

^cyour lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth ^dtrembled and shook.

19  Your ^eway was through the sea,

your path through the great waters;

yet your footprints ^fwere unseen.³

20  You ^gled your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1  ^jIncline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,

for I am ^kpoor and needy.

2  Preserve my life, for I am ^lgodly;

save your servant, who ^mtrusts in you—you are my God.

3  ⁿBe gracious to me, O Lord,

for to you do I cry all the day.

4  Gladden the soul of your servant,

for ^oto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5  For you, O Lord, are good and ^pforgiving,

^qabounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.

6  ^rGive ear, O Lord, to my prayer;

listen to my plea for grace.

7  In ^sthe day of my trouble I call upon you,

^tfor you answer me.

8  There is ^unone like you among the gods, O Lord,

^vnor are there any works like yours.

9  ^wAll the nations you have made shall come

and worship before you, O Lord,

and shall glorify your name.

10  For ^xyou are great and ^ydo wondrous things;

^zyou alone are God.

11  ^aTeach me your way, O Lord,

that I may ^bwalk in your truth;

^cunite my heart to fear your name.

12  I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,

and I will glorify your name forever.

13  ^dFor great is your steadfast love toward me;

you have ^edelivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14  O God, insolent men have ^frisen up against me;

a band of ruthless men seeks my life,

and they do not set you before them.

15  But you, O Lord, are a God ^gmerciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

16  ^hTurn to me and be gracious to me;

give your strength to ⁱyour servant,

and save ⁱthe son of your maidservant.

17  ^jShow me a sign of your ^kfavor,

that those who hate me may see and be put to shame

because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
