Oh give us help against the enemy, For rescue by man is worthless.

For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.

For You have heard my vows, God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.

My soul waits in silence for God alone; From Him comes my salvation.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

And faithfulness is Yours, Lord, For You reward a person according to his work.

God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

They will be turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say, "Who can see them?"

They devise injustices, saying, "We are ready with a well-conceived plot"; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.

There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, God, And the vow will be fulfilled for You.

Wrongdoings prevail against me; As for our offenses, You forgive them.

They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for so You prepare the earth.

The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.
