Oh how great is your goodness, Which you have laid up for those who fear you, Which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, Before the sons of men!

Praise be to Yahweh, For he has shown me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city.

As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped in the heat of summer. Selah.

For this, let everyone that is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright.

For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness.

For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power.

Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, For there is no lack with those who fear him.

Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.

For without cause have they hid their net in a pit for me. Without cause have they dug a pit for my soul.

All my bones shall say, "Yahweh, who is like you, Who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"

They reward me evil for good, To the bereaving of my soul.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.

For they don't speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
