As is Your name, O God,So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;Your right hand is full of righteousness.

For this is God,Our God forever and ever;He will guide us over death.

Truly, no man can redeem his brother;He cannot give to God a ransom for him—

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,For He will receive me. Selah.

The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken,And called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,God has shone forth.

May our God come and not be silent;Fire devours before Him,And a storm whirls around Him.

And the heavens declare His righteousness,For God Himself is judge. Selah.

"Hear, O My people, and I will speak;O Israel, I will testify against you;I am God, your God.

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgivingAnd pay your vows to the Most High;

But to the wicked God says,"What right have you to recount My statutesAnd to take My covenant in your mouth?

"Now consider this, you who forget God,Lest I tear you in pieces, and there will be none to deliver.

He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies Me;And he who orders his way,I shall show the salvation of God."

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;According to the abundance of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

But God will break you down forever;He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,And uproot you from the land of the living, Selah.

"Behold, the man who would not set God as his strength,But trusted in the abundance of his richesAnd was strong in his destruction."
