2to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,

3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.

4For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD;
I sing for joy at the works of your hands.

5How great are your works, O LORD,
how profound your thoughts!

6The senseless man does not know,
fools do not understand,

7that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be forever destroyed.

8But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.

9For surely your enemies, O LORD,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.

10You have exalted my hornHorn here symbolizes strength. like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured upon me.

11My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

13planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,

15proclaiming, “The LORD is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

2Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.

3The seas have lifted up, O LORD,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

4Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the LORD on high is mighty.

5Your statutes stand firm;
holiness adorns your house
for endless days, O LORD.

2Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.

3How long will the wicked, O LORD,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.

5They crush your people, O LORD;
they oppress your inheritance.

6They slay the widow and the alien;
they murder the fatherless.

7They say, “The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

8Take heed, you senseless ones among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?

9Does he who implanted the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?

10Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

11The LORD knows the thoughts of man;
he knows that they are futile.

12Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD,
the man you teach from your law;

13you grant him relief from days of trouble,
till a pit is dug for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not reject his people;
he will never forsake his inheritance.

15Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17Unless the LORD had given me help,
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18When I said, “My foot is slipping,”
your love, O LORD, supported me.

19When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.

20Can a corrupt throne be allied with you—
one that brings on misery by its decrees?

21They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.

22But the LORD has become my fortress,
and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

23He will repay them for their sins
and destroy them for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will destroy them.

2Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.

3For the LORD is the great God,
the great King above all gods.

4In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.

5The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

6Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

7for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
Today, if you hear his voice,

8do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,Meribah means quarreling.
as you did that day at MassahMassah means testing. in the desert,

9where your fathers tested and tried me,
though they had seen what I did.

10For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.”

11So I declared on oath in my anger,
“They shall never enter my rest.”

2Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.

4His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

5The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.

7All who worship images are put to shame,
those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!

8Zion hears and rejoices
and the villages of Judah are glad
because of your judgments, O LORD.

9For you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.

10Let those who love the LORD hate evil,
for he guards the lives of his faithful ones
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11Light is shed upon the righteous
and joy on the upright in heart.

12Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous,
and praise his holy name.
