Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

My God, in whom I trust!”

3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper

And from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with His pinions,

And under His wings you may seek refuge;

His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.

5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night,

Or of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,

Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

Butit shall not approach you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes

And see the recompense of the wicked.

9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge,

Eventhe Most High, your dwelling place.

10 No evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your tent.

11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

12 They will bear you up in their hands,

That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.

14 “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set himsecurelyon high, because he has known My name.

15 He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With a long life I will satisfy him

And let him see My salvation.”

Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord

And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

2 To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning

And Your faithfulness by night,

3 With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,

With resounding music upon the lyre.

4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done,

I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 How great are Your works, O Lord!

Your thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man has no knowledge,

Nor does a stupid man understand this:

7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass

And all who did iniquity flourished,

Itwas onlythat they might be destroyed forevermore.

8 But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,

For, behold, Your enemies will perish;

All who do iniquity will be scattered.

10 But You have exalted my horn likethat ofthe wild ox;

I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye has lookedexultantlyupon my foes,

My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree,

He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Planted in the house of the Lord,

They will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They will still yield fruit in old age;

They shall befull of sap and very green,

15 To declare that the Lordis upright;

He ismy rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

The Majesty of the Lord.

1 The Lordreigns, He is clothed with majesty;

The Lordhas clothed and girded Himself with strength;

Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

2 Your throne is established from of old;

You are from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord,

The floods have lifted up their voice,

The floods lift up their pounding waves.

4 More than the sounds of many waters,

Thanthe mighty breakers of the sea,

The Lordon high is mighty.

5 Your testimonies are fully confirmed;

Holiness befits Your house,

O Lord, forevermore.

The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.

1 O Lord, God of vengeance,

God of vengeance, shine forth!

2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth,

Render recompense to the proud.

3 How long shall the wicked, O Lord,

How long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour forthwords,they speak arrogantly;

All who do wickedness vaunt themselves.

5 They crush Your people, O Lord,

And afflict Your heritage.

6 They slay the widow and the stranger

And murder the orphans.

7 They have said, “The Lorddoes not see,

Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”

8 Pay heed, you senseless among the people;

And when will you understand, stupid ones?

9 He who planted the ear, does He not hear?

He who formed the eye, does He not see?

10 He who chastens the nations, will He not rebuke,

EvenHe who teaches man knowledge?

11 The Lordknows the thoughts of man,

That they are amerebreath.

12 Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,

And whom You teach out of Your law;

13 That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity,

Until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For the Lordwill not abandon His people,

Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

15 For judgment will again be righteous,

And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

17 If the Lordhad not been my help,

My soul would soon have dwelt inthe abode ofsilence.

18 If I should say, “My foot has slipped,”

Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

19 When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,

Your consolations delight my soul.

20 Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,

One which devises mischief by decree?

21 They band themselves together against the life of the righteous

And condemn the innocent to death.

22 But the Lordhas been my stronghold,

And my God the rock of my refuge.

23 He has brought back their wickedness upon them

And will destroy them in their evil;

The Lordour God will destroy them.

1 O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord,

Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,

Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

3 For the Lordis a great God

And a great King above all gods,

4 In whose hand are the depths of the earth,

The peaks of the mountains are His also.

5 The sea is His, for it was He who made it,

And His hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us worship and bow down,

Let us kneel before the Lordour Maker.

7 For He is our God,

And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you would hear His voice,

8 Do not harden your hearts, as atMeribah,

As in the day ofMassah in the wilderness,

9 “When your fathers tested Me,

They tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10 For forty years I loathedthatgeneration,

And said they are a people who err in their heart,

And they do not know My ways.

11 Therefore I swore in My anger,

Truly they shall not enter into My rest.”
