I am Adonai your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth, and I will fill it.'

A psalm of Asaf: Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly; there with the elohim [judges], he judges:

God, don't remain silent! Don't stay quiet, God, or still;

My God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff driven by the wind.

My soul yearns, yes, faints with longing for the courtyards of Adonai ; my heart and body cry for joy to the living God.

As the sparrow finds herself a home and the swallow her nest, where she lays her young, [so my resting-place is] by your altars, Adonai -Tzva'ot, my king and my God.

They go from strength to strength and appear before God in Tziyon.

Adonai , God of armies, hear my prayer; listen, God of Ya‘akov. (Selah)

God, see our shield [the king]; look at the face of your anointed.

For Adonai , God, is a sun and a shield; Adonai bestows favor and honor; he will not withhold anything good from those whose lives are pure. Adonai -Tzva'ot, how happy is anyone who trusts in you!

Restore us, God of our salvation, renounce your displeasure with us.

I am listening. What will God, Adonai , say? For he will speak peace to his people, to his holy ones — but only if they don't relapse into folly.

Preserve my life, for I am faithful; save your servant, who puts his trust in you because you are my God.

For you are great, and you do wonders; you alone are God.

I will thank you, Adonai my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify your name forever.

God, arrogant men are rising against me, a gang of brutes is seeking my life, and to you they pay no attention.

But you, Adonai, are a merciful, compassionate God, slow to anger and rich in grace and truth.

Glorious things are said about you, city of God. (Selah)

Adonai , God of my salvation, when I cry out to you in the night,

a God dreaded in the great assembly of the holy ones and feared by all around him?
