But You have ^(C1)rejected and ^(C2)refused, You have been full of wrath ^(F1)against Your ^(C3)anointed.

You have ^(F1)(C1)repudiated the covenant of Your servant; You have ^(C2)profaned ^(C3)his crown ^(F2)in the dust.

You have ^(C1)broken down all his walls; You have ^(C2)brought his strongholds to ruin.

^(C1)All who pass along the way plunder him; He has become a ^(C2)disgrace to his neighbors.

You have ^(C1)exalted the right hand of his adversaries; You have ^(C2)made all his enemies rejoice.

You also turn back the edge of his sword, And have ^(C1)not made him stand in battle.

You have put an end to his ^(F1)(C1)splendor And cast his throne to the ground.

You have ^(C1)shortened the days of his youth; You have ^(C2)covered him with shame. Selah

^(C1)How long, LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your ^(C2)wrath burn like fire?

^(C1)Remember ^(F1)what my lifespan is; For what ^(C2)futility ^(F2)You have created all the sons of mankind!

What man can live and not ^(C1)see death? Can he ^(C2)save his soul from the ^(F1)power of ^(F2)Sheol? Selah

Where are Your former acts of favor, Lord, Which You ^(C1)swore to David in Your faithfulness?

Remember, Lord, the ^(C1)taunt against Your servants; ^(F1)How I carry in my heart the taunts of all the many peoples,

With which ^(C1)Your enemies have taunted, LORD, With which they have taunted the footsteps of ^(C2)Your anointed.

^(C1)Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.

Lord, You have been our ^(F1)(C1)dwelling place in all generations.

Before ^(C1)the mountains were born ^(F1)Or You ^(C2)gave birth to the earth and the world, Even ^(C3)from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

You ^(C1)turn mortals back into dust And say, "Return, you sons of mankind."

For ^(C1)a thousand years in Your sight Are like ^(C2)yesterday when it passes by, ^(F1)Or like a ^(C3)watch in the night.

You ^(C1)have ^(F1)swept them away like a flood, they ^(F2)(C2)fall asleep; In the morning they are like ^(C3)grass that ^(F3)sprouts anew.

In the morning it ^(C1)flourishes and ^(F1)sprouts anew; Toward evening it ^(C2)wilts and ^(C3)withers away.

For we have been ^(C1)consumed by Your anger, And we have been terrified by Your wrath.

You have ^(C1)placed our guilty deeds before You, Our ^(C2)hidden sins in the light of Your presence.

For ^(C1)all our days have dwindled away in Your fury; We have finished our years like a ^(F1)sigh.

As for the days of our ^(F1)life, ^(F2)they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, ^(C1)eighty years, Yet their pride is only ^(C2)trouble and tragedy; For it quickly passes, and we ^(C3)disappear.

Who ^(F1)understands the ^(C1)power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the ^(C2)fear ^(F2)that is due You?

So ^(C1)teach us to number our days, That we may ^(F1)(C2)present to You a heart of wisdom.

Do ^(C1)return, LORD; ^(C2)how long will it be? And ^(F1)be ^(C3)sorry for Your servants.

^(C1)Satisfy us in the morning with Your graciousness, That we may ^(C2)sing for joy and rejoice all our days.

^(C1)Make us glad ^(F1)according to the days You have afflicted us, And the ^(C2)years we have seen ^(F2)evil.

Let Your ^(C1)work appear to Your servants And Your ^(C2)majesty ^(F1)to their children.

May the ^(C1)kindness of the Lord our God be upon us; And ^(F1)(C2)confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, ^(F1)confirm the work of our hands.

One who dwells in the ^(C1)shelter of the Most High Will lodge in the ^(C2)shadow of the Almighty.

I will say to the LORD, "My ^(C1)refuge and my ^(C2)fortress, My God, in whom I ^(C3)trust!"

For it is He who rescues you from the ^(C1)net of the trapper And from the deadly ^(C2)plague.

He will ^(C1)cover you with His pinions, And ^(C2)under His wings you may take refuge; His ^(C3)faithfulness is a ^(C4)shield and wall.

You ^(C1)will not be afraid of the ^(C2)terror by night, Or of the ^(C3)arrow that flies by day;

Of the ^(C1)plague that ^(F1)stalks in darkness, Or of the ^(C2)destruction that devastates at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But ^(C1)it shall not approach you.

You will only look on with your eyes And ^(C1)see the retaliation against the wicked.

^(F1)For you have made the LORD, ^(C1)my refuge, The Most High, ^(C2)your dwelling place.

^(C1)No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your ^(F1)tent.

For He will give ^(C1)His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways.

On their hands they will ^(C1)lift you up, So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.

You will ^(C1)walk upon the lion and cobra, You will trample the young lion and the ^(F1)serpent.
