You have broken down all his walls; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.

All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.

You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have made all his enemies rejoice.

You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have not made him stand in battle.

You have put an end to his splendor And cast his throne to the ground.

You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

What man can live and not see death? Can he save his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall.

For He will give His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways.

For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He abandon His inheritance.

Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do injustice?

Let's come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving, Let's shout joyfully to Him in songs with instruments.

In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are also His.

The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,

Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courtyards.

Before the LORD, for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness.
