God

"Have mercy on me, ADONAI! See how I suffer from those who hate me; you raise me from the gates of death,

so that I can proclaim all your praises at the gates of the daughter of Tziyon and rejoice in this deliverance of yours."

ADONAI made himself known and executed judgment; the wicked are ensnared in the work of their own hands. (Higgayon; Selah)

The wicked will return to Sh'ol, all the nations that forget God.

Arise, ADONAI! Don't let mortals prevail! Let the nations be judged in your presence.

Strike them with terror, ADONAI! Let the nations know they are only human. (Selah)

hy, ADONAI, do you stand at a distance? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

For the wicked boasts about his lusts; he blesses greed and despises ADONAI.

Every scheme of the wicked in his arrogance [says], "There is no God, [so] it won't be held against me."

His ways prosper at all times. Your judgments are way up there, so he takes no notice. His adversaries? He scoffs at them all.

He says in his heart, "God forgets, he hides his face, he will never see."

Arise, ADONAI! God, raise your hand! Don't forget the humble!

Why does the wicked despise God and say in his heart, "It won't be held against me"?

You have seen; for you look at mischief and grief, so that you can take the matter in hand. The helpless commits himself to you; you help the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked! As for the evil man, search out his wickedness until there is none left.

ADONAI is king forever and ever! The nations have vanished from his land.

ADONAI, you have heard what the humble want; you encourage them and listen to them,

For the leader. By David: In ADONAI I find refuge. So how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains!

ADONAI is in his holy temple. ADONAI, his throne is in heaven. His eyes see and test humankind.

ADONAI tests the righteous; but he hates the wicked and the lover of violence.

He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.

For ADONAI is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.

For the leader. On sh'minit [low-pitched musical instruments?]. A psalm of David: Help, ADONAI! For no one godly is left; the faithful have vanished from humankind.

May ADONAI cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks so proudly,

"Because the poor are oppressed, because the needy are groaning, I will now rise up," says ADONAI, "and grant security to those whom they scorn."
