Bless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You who acted in our behalf.

Messengers will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah

Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies.

God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!

Save me, God, For the waters have threatened my life.

I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

God, You know my foolishness, And my guilt is not hidden from You.

May those who wait for You not be ashamed because of me, Lord GOD of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel,

But as for me, my prayer is to You, LORD, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth.

But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, God, set me safely on high.

I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving.

The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive.

For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, So that they may live there and possess it.

God, hurry to save me; LORD, hurry to help me!

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And may those who love Your salvation say continually, "May God be exalted!"

But I am afflicted and needy; Hurry to me, God! You are my help and my savior; LORD, do not delay.

Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless,

For You are my hope; Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.
