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

As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

For You are the God of my strength; Why do You cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation [fn] of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God,Our fathers have told us,The deeds You did in their days,In days of old:

You are my King, O God; [fn] Command [fn] victories for Jacob.

In God we boast all day long, And praise Your name forever.Selah

If we had forgotten the name of our God, Or stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

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

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.Selah

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
