God

God, break their teeth in their mouth! Shatter the fangs of these lions, ADONAI!

Before your cook-pots feel the heat of the burning thorns, may he blow them away, green and blazing alike.

and people will say, "Yes, the righteous are rewarded; there is, after all, a God who judges the earth."

For the leader. Set to "Do Not Destroy." By David; a mikhtam, when Sha'ul sent men to keep watch on David's house in order to kill him: My God, rescue me from my enemies! Lift me up, out of reach of my foes!

For there they are, lying in wait to kill me. Openly they gather themselves against me, and not because I committed a crime or sinned, ADONAI.

You, ADONAI Elohei-Tzva'ot, God of Isra'el, arouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those wicked traitors. (Selah)

But you, ADONAI, laugh at them, you mock all the nations.

My Strength, I will watch for you, for God is my fortress.

God, who gives me grace, will come to me; God will let me gaze in triumph at my foes.

Don't kill them, or my people will forget; instead, by your power, make them wander to and fro; but bring them down, Adonai our Shield,

Finish them off in wrath, finish them off, put an end to them, and let them know to the ends of the earth that God is Ruler in Ya'akov. (Selah)

But as for me, I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing aloud of your grace. For you are my fortress, a refuge when I am in trouble.

My Strength, I will sing praises to you, for God is my fortress, God, who gives me grace.

For the leader. Set to "Lily of Testimony."A mikhtam of David for teaching about when he fought with Aram-Naharayim and with Aram-Tzovah, and Yo'av returned and killed 12,000 from Edom in the Salt Valley: God, you rejected us; you crushed us; you were angry; but now revive us.

You made the land shake, split it apart; now repair the rifts, for it is collapsing.

You made your people suffer hard times, had us drink a wine that made us stagger.

To those who fear you because of the truth you gave a banner to rally around, (Selah)

so that those you love could be rescued; so save with your right hand, and answer us!

God in his holiness spoke, and I took joy [in his promise]: "I will divide Sh'khem and determine the shares in the Sukkot Valley.

Mo'av is my washpot; on Edom I throw my shoe; P'leshet, be crushed because of me!"

God, have you rejected us? You don't go out with our armies, God.

With God's help we will fight valiantly, for he will trample our enemies.

For the leader. With stringed instruments. By David: Hear my cry, God; listen to my prayer.

From the end of the earth, with fainting heart, I call out to you. Set me down on a rock far above where I am now.

For you have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe.
