For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah

Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.

Listen to my prayer, God; And do not hide Yourself from my pleading.

We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of God among the commotion.

As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me.

God will hear and humiliate them— Even the One who sits enthroned from ancient times— Selah With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.

But You, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

Be gracious to me, God, for a man has trampled upon me; Fighting all day long he oppresses me.

In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

Because of their wickedness, will there be an escape for them? In anger make the peoples fall down, God!

Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me.

In God, whose word I praise, In the LORD, whose word I praise,

In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can mankind do to me?

Your vows are binding upon me, God; I will render thanksgiving offerings to You.

For You have saved my soul from death, Indeed my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of the living.

Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me, For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge Until destruction passes by.

I will cry to God Most High, To God who accomplishes all things for me.

He will send from heaven and save me; He rebukes the one who tramples upon me. Selah God will send His favor and His truth.

Be exalted above the heavens, God; May Your glory be above all the earth.

My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises!
