God

The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens.

From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise on account of Your adversaries, to silence the enemy and avenger.

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler of the works of Your hands; You have placed everything under his feet:

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.

I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.

For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.

You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.

But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.

He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.

For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
