But as for me, in the abundance of Your lovingkindness I will enter Your house,At Your holy temple I will worship in fear of You.

Hold them guilty, O God;By their own devices let them fall!In the abundance of their transgressions thrust them out,For they are rebellious against You.

But let all who take refuge in You be glad,Let them ever sing for joy;And may You shelter them,That those who love Your name may exult in You.

For it is You who blesses the righteous one, O Yahweh,You surround him with favor as with a large shield.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for I am pining away;Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are dismayed.

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

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity,For Yahweh has heard the sound of my weeping.

Arise, O Yahweh, in Your anger;Lift up Yourself against the fury of my adversaries,And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.

O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons;He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

What is man that You remember him,And the son of man that You care for him?

For You have maintained my justice and my cause;You have sat on the throne judging righteously.

But Yahweh abides forever;He has established His throne for judgment,

And He will judge the world in righteousness;He will render justice for the peoples with equity.

Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,A stronghold in times of distress;

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,For You, O Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek You.

For He who requires blood remembers them;He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

For the needy will not always be forgotten,Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

For the wicked boasts of his soul's desire,And the greedy man curses and spurns Yahweh.

His ways prosper at all times;Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
