Why are the nations so shaken up and the people planning foolish things?

So, kings, be wise. Listen, you rulers of the earth.

In this way, You will do the right thing for those without a father and those who suffer, so that man who is of the earth will no longer make them afraid.

And so my heart is glad. My soul is full of joy. My body also will rest without fear.

So the Lord has paid me back for being right with Him, and for my hands being clean in His eyes.

He teaches me how to fight, so that I can use a bow of brass.

I hit them so they were not able to rise. They fell under my feet.

So I will give thanks to You among the nations, O Lord. And I will sing praises to Your name.

My God, my God, why have You left me alone? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words I cry inside myself?

Good and right is the Lord. So He teaches sinners in His ways.

They do not think about the works of the Lord and what His hands have done. So He will pull them down and not build them up again.

The Lord is my strength and my safe cover. My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. So my heart is full of joy. I will thank Him with my song.

O Lord, You have brought me up from the grave. You have kept me alive, so that I will not go down into the deep.

So my soul may sing praise to You, and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

So let all who are God-like pray to You while You may be found, because in the floods of much water, they will not touch him.

Who is the man who has a desire for life, and wants to live long so that he may see good things?

For he makes much of himself in his own eyes. So his sin is not known and hated.

Trust in the Lord, and do good. So you will live in the land and will be fed.

Turn from sin, and do good, so you will live forever.

I said, "I will watch my ways so I may not sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth shut as if it were tied with ropes, while the sinful are near me."
