Listen to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my plea.

We who had sweet fellowship together, Who walked to the house of God in company.

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

God will hear and humble them, Even He who sits enthroned from old— Selah. Because in them there has been no change [of heart], And they do not fear God [at all].

But You, O God, will bring down the wicked to the pit of destruction; Men of blood and treachery will not live out half their days. But I will [boldly and unwaveringly] trust in You.

Be gracious to me, O God, for man has trampled on me; All day long the adversary oppresses and torments me.

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

Cast them out because of their wickedness. In anger bring down the peoples, O God!

Then my enemies will turn back in 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 have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Your vows are binding upon me, O God; I will give thank offerings to You.

For You have rescued my soul from death, Yes, and my feet from stumbling, So that I may walk before God In the light of life.

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious and merciful to me, For my soul finds shelter and safety in You, And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge and be confidently secure Until destruction passes by.

I will cry to God Most High, Who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan].

He will send from heaven and save me; He calls to account him who tramples me down. Selah. God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast and confident! I will sing, yes, I will sing praises [to You]!

Be exalted above the heavens, O God; Let Your glory and majesty be over all the earth.

O God, break their teeth in their mouth; Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
