The LORD will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries taunt me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; Save me from the deceitful and unjust person!

For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.

Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah

If we had forgotten the name of our God Or extended our hands to a strange god,

You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.

God is our refuge and strength, A very ready help in trouble.

There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

The LORD of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah
