Oh let the peoples be glad and sing for joy; for You shall judge the peoples uprightly and govern the peoples on earth. Selah.

But the righteous are glad; they shout for joy before God; yea, they exult with gladness.

Sing to God, sing praise to His name; lift up a song for Him who rides in the deserts, by His name Jehovah; yea, exult in His presence.

Your flock lived in it. You, O God, have prepared for the poor in Your goodness.

Why do you gaze in envy, O mountain range, at the mountain God desired for His dwelling? Yea, Jehovah will dwell in it forever.

Blessed be the Lord: day by day He carries a load for us, the God of our salvation. Selah.

Your God has commanded your strength; O God, be strong, in this that You have worked out for us.

To the chief musician. Concerning the Lilies. Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul.

I am weary from my crying, my throat is scorched; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

O Jehovah of Hosts, do not let those who wait on You be ashamed for my sake; let not the ones who seek You be ashamed for my sake, O God of Israel.

Because I suffered reproach for Your sake, shame has covered My face.

For the zeal of Your house has consumed Me; and the reproaches of the ones who reproach You have fallen on Me.

Hear me, O Jehovah, for Your mercy is good; in the plentitude of Your tender mercies, turn toward me.

And do not hide Your face from Your servant; for it is distressing to Me; answer Me quickly;

Reproach has broken My heart, and I am faint; and I waited for one to show pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

For whom You have stricken, they have persecuted; and they gossip to the pain of those You pierced.

For Jehovah hears the needy, and He does not despise His prisoners.
