God

God, you are my king; command complete victory for Ya'akov.

Through you we pushed away our foes, through your name we trampled down our assailants.

No, you saved us from our adversaries; you put to shame those who hate us.

We will boast in our God all day and give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)

Yet now you have thrust us aside and disgraced us; you don't march out with our armies.

You sell your people for a pittance, you don't even profit on the sale.

Though all this came on us, we did not forget you; we have not been false to your covenant;

Our hearts have not turned back, and our steps did not turn away from your path,

though you pressed us into a lair of jackals and covered us with death-dark gloom.

If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

wouldn't God have discovered this, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

For your sake we are put to death all day long, we are considered sheep to be slaughtered.

Wake up, Adonai! Why are you asleep? Rouse yourself! Don't thrust us off forever.

Why are you turning your face away, forgetting our pain and misery?

Get up, and come to help us! For the sake of your grace, redeem us!

You are the most handsome of men; gracious speech flows from your lips. For God has blessed you forever.

Your throne, God, will last forever and ever; you rule your kingdom with a scepter of equity.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions.

Your robes are all fragrant with myrrh, aloes and cassia; from ivory palaces stringed instruments bring you joy.

Daughters of kings are among your favorites; at your right stands the queen in gold from Ofir.

and the king will desire your beauty; for he is your lord, so honor him.

For the leader. By the descendants of Korach. On 'alamot [high-pitched musical instruments?]. A song: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

There is a river whose streams gladden the city of God, the holy habitation of 'Elyon

God is in the city. It will not be moved when daybreak comes, God will help it.

Nations were in turmoil, kingdoms were moved; his voice thundered forth, and the earth melted away.
