Those who have traded for another god bring many troubles on themselves. I will not take part in their altar gifts of blood. And I will not take their names upon my lips.

I have called to You, O God, for You will answer me. Listen to me and hear my words.

The Lord is my rock, and my safe place, and the One Who takes me out of trouble. My God is my rock, in Whom I am safe. He is my safe-covering, my saving strength, and my strong tower.

I called to the Lord in my trouble. I cried to God for help. He heard my voice from His holy house. My cry for help came into His ears.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord. And I have not sinned by turning from my God.

You make my lamp bright. The Lord my God lights my darkness.

With Your help I can go against many soldiers. With my God I can jump over a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect. The Word of the Lord has stood the test. He is a covering for all who go to Him for a safe place.

For Who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock except our God?

It is God Who covers me with strength and makes my way perfect.

The Lord lives! How great is my Rock! Praise be to the God Who saves me!

He is the God Who punishes those who have done wrong to me. He puts nations under my rule.

The heavens are telling of the greatness of God and the great open spaces above show the work of His hands.

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe.

May He send you help from the house of God, and give you strength from Zion.

We will sing for joy when you win. In the name of our God we will lift up our flags. May the Lord give you all the things you ask Him for.

Some trust in wagons and some in horses. But we will trust in the name of the Lord, our God.

My God, my God, why have You left me alone? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words I cry inside myself?

O my God, I cry during the day, but You do not answer. I cry during the night, but I find no rest.

I was in Your care from birth. Since my mother gave birth to me, You have been my God.
