"^(C1)Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will ^(C2)set him securely on high, because he has ^(C3)known My name.

-"He will ^(C1)call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in ^(F1)trouble; I will rescue him and ^(C2)honor him.

-"I will satisfy him with ^(F1)a ^(C1)long life, And ^(F2)(C2)show him My salvation."

It is ^(C1)good to give thanks to the LORD And to ^(C2)sing praises to Your name, Most High;

To ^(C1)declare Your goodness in the morning And Your ^(C2)faithfulness by ^(F1)night,

^(F1)With the ^(C1)ten-stringed lute and ^(F1)with the ^(C1)harp, ^(F1)With resounding music on the ^(C1)lyre.

For You, LORD, have made me joyful by ^(F1)what You ^(C1)have done, I will ^(C2)sing for joy over the ^(C3)works of Your hands.

How ^(C1)great are Your works, LORD! Your ^(F1)(C2)thoughts are very ^(C3)deep.

A ^(C1)stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a ^(C1)foolish person understand this:

When the wicked ^(C1)sprouted up like grass And all ^(C2)who did injustice flourished, It was only that they might be ^(C3)destroyed forevermore.

But You, LORD, are ^(C1)on high forever.

For, behold, Your enemies, LORD, For, behold, ^(C1)Your enemies will perish; All who do injustice will be ^(C2)scattered.

But You have exalted my ^(C1)horn like that of the wild ox; I have ^(F1)been ^(C2)anointed with fresh oil.

And my eye has ^(C1)looked at my enemies, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

The ^(C1)righteous person will ^(F1)flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a ^(C2)cedar in Lebanon.

^(C1)Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish ^(C2)in the courtyards of our God.

They will still ^(F1)(C1)yield fruit in advanced age; They will be ^(F2)full of sap and very green,

To ^(F1)declare that ^(C1)the LORD is just; He is my ^(C2)rock, and there is ^(C3)no malice in Him.

^(C1)The LORD ^(F1)reigns, He is ^(C2)clothed with majesty; The LORD has ^(C3)clothed and encircled Himself with strength. Indeed, the ^(C4)world is firmly established; it will not be moved.

Your ^(C1)throne is established from of old; You ^(C2)are from eternity.

The ^(C1)floods have lifted up, LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.

More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD ^(C1)on high is mighty.

Your ^(C1)testimonies are fully confirmed; ^(C2)Holiness is pleasing to Your house, LORD, ^(F1)forevermore.

LORD, God of ^(F1)(C1)vengeance, God of ^(F1)vengeance, ^(F2)(C2)shine forth!

^(C1)Rise up, ^(C2)Judge of the earth, Pay back retribution ^(C3)to the proud.

How long, LORD, shall the wicked— How long shall the ^(C1)wicked triumph?

They pour out words, they ^(C1)speak arrogantly; All who do injustice ^(C2)boast.

They ^(C1)crush Your people, LORD, And ^(C2)afflict Your inheritance.

They ^(C1)kill the widow and the stranger And murder the orphans.

^(C1)They have said, "^(F1)The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob perceive."

Pay attention, you ^(C1)stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, ^(C1)foolish ones?

He who ^(C1)planted the ear, ^(F1)does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, ^(F1)does He not see?

He who ^(F1)(C1)disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke, He who ^(C2)teaches mankind knowledge?

The LORD ^(C1)knows human thoughts, ^(F1)That they are mere breath.

Blessed is the man whom ^(C1)You discipline, ^(F1)LORD, And ^(C2)whom You teach from Your Law,

So that You may grant him ^(C1)relief from the ^(C2)days of adversity, Until ^(C3)a pit is dug for the wicked.

For ^(C1)the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He ^(C2)abandon His inheritance.

For ^(F1)(C1)judgment ^(F2)will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart ^(F3)will follow it.

Who will ^(C1)stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me ^(C2)against those who do injustice?
