Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him in God."Selah

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.

Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

But know that the Lord has set apart [fn] for Himself him who is godly;The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray.

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.

But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is destruction; Their throat is an open tomb; They flatter with their tongue.

Pronounce them guilty, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels; Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, For they have rebelled against You.

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.

For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am weak; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Return, O LORD, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake!

For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave who will give You thanks?

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; For the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;Rise up for me [fn] to the judgment You have commanded!

So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
