For You are my hope, O Lord God. You are my trust since I was young.

They say, "God has turned away from him. Run and catch him, for there is no one to take him out of trouble."

O God, do not be far from me! O my God, hurry to help me!

I will come in the strength of the Lord God. I will tell about how right and good You are, and You alone.

O God, You have taught me from when I was young. And I still tell about Your great works.

Even when I am old and my hair is turning white, O God, do not leave me alone. Let me tell about Your strength to all the people living now, and about Your power to all who are to come.

O God, You are right and good, as the heavens are high. You have done great things, O God. Who is like You?

O my God, I will praise You with a harp. I will praise Your truth. I will sing praises to You with different kinds of harps, O Holy One of Israel.

O God, make the king right in what he decides. Make the king's son right with You.

Honor and thanks be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does great things.

For sure God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

They say, "How does God know? Is there much learning with the Most High?"

until I went into the holy place of God. Then I understood their end.

My body and my heart may grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart and all I need forever.

But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Lord God my safe place. So I may tell of all the things You have done.

O God, why have You turned away from us forever? Why does Your anger burn against the sheep in Your fields?

They said in their hearts, "Let us destroy all of these places!" They have burned all the meeting places where God was worshiped in the land.

We do not see any special things happening. There is no longer anyone who speaks for God. And none of us knows how long this will be.

O God, how long will those who hate You laugh at the truth? Will they speak against Your name forever?

God is still my King from long ago. He does saving works upon the earth.
