But God is helping me; Adonai is my support.

Listen, God, to my prayer! Don't hide yourself from my plea!

We used to share our hearts with each other; in the house of God we walked with the crowd.

But I will call on God, and Adonai will save me.

God will hear and will humble them, yes, he who has sat on his throne from the start. (Selah) For they never change, and they don't fear God.

Unload your burden on Adonai , and he will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved. But you will bring them down, God, into the deepest pit. Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous, will not live out half their days. But for my part, [ Adonai ,] I put my trust in you.

Show me favor, God; for people are trampling me down — all day they fight and press on me.

In God — I praise his word — in God I trust; I have no fear; what can human power do to me?

Because of their crime, they cannot escape; in anger, God, strike down the peoples.

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

In God — I praise his word — in Adonai — I praise his word —

in God I trust; I have no fear; what can mere humans do to me?

God, I have made vows to you; I will fulfill them with thank offerings to you. For you rescued me from death, you kept my feet from stumbling, so that I can walk in God's presence, in the light of life.

Show me favor, God, show me favor; for in you I have taken refuge. Yes, I will find refuge in the shadow of your wings until the storms have passed.

I call to God, the Most High, to God, who is accomplishing his purpose for me.

He will send from heaven and save me when those who would trample me down mock me. (Selah) God will send his grace and his truth.

Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!

My heart is steadfast, God, steadfast. I will sing and make music.

For your grace is great, all the way to heaven, and your truth, all the way to the skies. Be exalted, God, above heaven! May your glory be over all the earth!

God, break their teeth in their mouth! Shatter the fangs of these lions, Adonai !
