For the leader. A psalm of David.
How long, O LORD; will You ignore me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long will I have cares on my mind,
grief in my heart all day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?
Look at me, answer me, O LORD, my God!
Restore the luster to my eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of death;
lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,”
my foes exult when I totter.
But I trust in Your faithfulness,
my heart will exult in Your deliverance.
I will sing to the LORD,
for He has been good to me.

For the leader. A psalm of David.
May the LORD answer you in time of trouble,
the name of Jacob’s God keep you safe.
May He send you help from the sanctuary,
and sustain you from Zion.
May He receive the tokens of all your meal offerings,
and approve your burnt offerings. Selah.
May He grant you your desire,
and fulfill your every plan.
May we shout for joy in your victory,
arrayed by standards in the name of our God.
May the LORD fulfill your every wish.
Now I know that the LORD will give victory to His anointed,
will answer him from His heavenly sanctuary
with the mighty victories of His right arm.
They [call] on chariots, they [call] on horses,
but we call on the name of the LORD our God.
They collapse and lie fallen,
but we rally and gather strength.
O LORD, grant victory!
May the King answer us when we call.

For the leader; al tashḥeth. Of David. A michtam; when he fled from Saul into a cave.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for I seek refuge in You,
I seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings,
until danger passes.
I call to God Most High,
to God who is good to me.
He will reach down from heaven and deliver me:
God will send down His steadfast love;
my persecutor reviles. Selah.
As for me, I lie down among man-eating lions
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
whose tongue is a sharp sword.
Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth!
They prepared a net for my feet to ensnare me;-b
they dug a pit for me,
but they fell into it. Selah.
My heart is firm, O God;
my heart is firm;
I will sing, I will chant a hymn.
Awake, O my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will wake the dawn.
I will praise You among the peoples, O Lord;
I will sing a hymn to You among the nations;
for Your faithfulness is as high as heaven;
Your steadfastness reaches to the sky.
Exalt Yourself over the heavens, O God,
let Your glory be over all the earth!

A psalm of Asaph.
O God, heathens have entered Your domain,
defiled Your holy temple,
and turned Jerusalem into ruins.
They have left Your servants’ corpses
as food for the fowl of heaven,
and the flesh of Your faithful for the wild beasts.
Their blood was shed like water around Jerusalem,
with none to bury them.
We have become the butt of our neighbors,
the scorn and derision of those around us.
How long, O LORD, will You be angry forever,
will Your indignation blaze like fire?
Pour out Your fury on the nations that do not know You,
upon the kingdoms that do not invoke Your name,
for they have devoured Jacob
and desolated his home.
Do not hold our former iniquities against us;
let Your compassion come swiftly toward us,
for we have sunk very low.
Help us, O God, our deliverer,
for the sake of the glory of Your name.
Save us and forgive our sin,
for the sake of Your name.
Let the nations not say, “Where is their God?”
Before our eyes let it be known among the nations
that You avenge the spilled blood of Your servants.
Let the groans of the prisoners reach You;
reprieve those condemned to death,
as befits Your great strength.
Pay back our neighbors sevenfold
for the abuse they have flung at You, O Lord.
Then we, Your people,
the flock You shepherd,
shall glorify You forever;
for all time we shall tell Your praises.

For the leader; on shoshannim, eduth. Of Asaph. A psalm.
Give ear, O shepherd of Israel
who leads Joseph like a flock!
Appear, You who are enthroned on the cherubim,
at the head of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh!
Rouse Your might and come to our help!
Restore us, O God;
show Your favor that we may be delivered.
O LORD, God of hosts,
how long will You be wrathful
toward the prayers of Your people?
You have fed them tears as their daily bread,
made them drink great measures of tears.
You set us at strife with our neighbors;
our enemies mock us at will.
O God of hosts, restore us;
show Your favor that we may be delivered.
You plucked up a vine from Egypt;
You expelled nations and planted it.
You cleared a place for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
The mountains were covered by its shade,
mighty cedars by its boughs.
Its branches reached the sea,
its shoots, the river.
Why did You breach its wall
so that every passerby plucks its fruit,
wild boars gnaw at it,
and creatures of the field feed on it?
O God of hosts, turn again,
look down from heaven and see;
take note of that vine,
the stock planted by Your right hand,
the stem you have taken as Your own.
For it is burned by fire and cut down,
perishing before Your angry blast.
Grant Your help to the man at Your right hand,
the one You have taken as Your own.
We will not turn away from You;
preserve our life that we may invoke Your name.
O LORD, God of hosts, restore us;
show Your favor that we may be delivered.

A song, a psalm of Asaph.
O God, do not be silent;
do not hold aloof;
do not be quiet, O God!
For Your enemies rage,
Your foes assert themselves.
They plot craftily against Your people,
take counsel against Your treasured ones.
They say, “Let us wipe them out as a nation;
Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.”
Unanimous in their counsel
they have made an alliance against You—
the clans of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria too joins forces with them;
they give support to the sons of Lot. Selah.
Deal with them as You did with Midian,
with Sisera, with Jabin,
at the brook Kishon—
who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the field.
Treat their great men like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
who said, “Let us take the meadows of God as our possession.”
O my God, make them like thistledown,
like stubble driven by the wind.
As a fire burns a forest,
as flames scorch the hills,
pursue them with Your tempest,
terrify them with Your storm.
Cover their faces with shame
so that they seek Your name, O LORD.
May they be frustrated and terrified,
disgraced and doomed forever.
May they know
that Your name, Yours alone, is the LORD,
supreme over all the earth.

O you who dwell in the shelter of the Most High
and abide in the protection of Shaddai—
I say of the LORD, my refuge and stronghold,
my God in whom I trust,
that He will save you from the fowler’s trap,
from the destructive plague.
He will cover you with His pinions;
you will find refuge under His wings;
His fidelity is an encircling shield.
You need not fear the terror by night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
the plague that stalks in the darkness,
or the scourge that ravages at noon.
A thousand may fall at your left side,
ten thousand at your right,
but it shall not reach you.
You will see it with your eyes,
you will witness the punishment of the wicked.
Because you took the LORD—my refuge,
the Most High—as your haven,
no harm will befall you,
no disease touch your tent.
For He will order His angels
to guard you wherever you go.
They will carry you in their hands
lest you hurt your foot on a stone.
You will tread on cubs and vipers;
you will trample lions and asps.
“Because he is devoted to Me I will deliver him;
I will keep him safe, for he knows My name.
When he calls on Me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in distress;
I will rescue him and make him honored;
I will let him live to a ripe old age,
and show him My salvation.”

A prayer of the lowly man when he is faint and pours forth his plea before the LORD.
O LORD, hear my prayer;
let my cry come before You.
Do not hide Your face from me
in my time of trouble;
turn Your ear to me;
when I cry, answer me speedily.
For my days have vanished like smoke
and my bones are charred like a hearth.
My body is stricken and withered like grass;
too wasted-a to eat my food;
on account of my vehement groaning
my bones show through my skin.
I am like a great owl in the wilderness,
an owl among the ruins.
I lie awake; I am like
a lone bird upon a roof.
All day long my enemies revile me;
my deriders use my name to curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread
and mixed my drink with tears,
because of Your wrath and Your fury;
for You have cast me far away.
My days are like a lengthening shadow;
I wither like grass.
But You, O LORD, are enthroned forever;
Your fame endures throughout the ages.
You will surely arise and take pity on Zion,
for it is time to be gracious to her;
the appointed time has come.
Your servants take delight in its stones,
and cherish its dust.
The nations will fear the name of the LORD,
all the kings of the earth, Your glory.
For the LORD has built Zion;
He has appeared in all His glory.
He has turned to the prayer of the destitute
and has not spurned their prayer.
May this be written down for a coming generation,
that people yet to be created may praise the LORD.
For He looks down from His holy height;
the LORD beholds the earth from heaven
to hear the groans of the prisoner,
to release those condemned to death;
that the fame of the LORD may be recounted in Zion,
His praises in Jerusalem,
when the nations gather together,
the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
He drained my strength in mid-course,
He shortened my days.
I say, “O my God, do not take me away
in the midst of my days,
You whose years go on for generations on end.
Of old You established the earth;
the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They shall perish, but You shall endure;
they shall all wear out like a garment;
You change them like clothing and they pass away.
But You are the same, and Your years never end.
May the children of Your servants dwell securely
and their offspring endure in Your presence.”

A song of ascents.
In my distress I called to the LORD
and He answered me.
O LORD, save me from treacherous lips,
from a deceitful tongue!
What can you profit,
what can you gain,
O deceitful tongue?
A warrior’s sharp arrows,
with hot coals of broom-wood.
Woe is me, that I live with Meshech,
that I dwell among the clans of Kedar.
Too long have I dwelt with those who hate peace.
I am all peace;
but when I speak,
they are for war.

A song for ascents.
I turn my eyes to the mountains;
from where will my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot give way;
your guardian will not slumber;
See, the guardian of Israel
neither slumbers nor sleeps!
The LORD is your guardian,
the LORD is your protection
at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will guard you from all harm;
He will guard your life.
The LORD will guard your going and coming
now and forever.

A song of ascents.
Out of the depths I call You, O LORD.
O Lord, listen to my cry;
let Your ears be attentive
to my plea for mercy.
If You keep account of sins, O LORD,
Lord, who will survive?
Yours is the power to forgive
so that You may be held in awe.
I look to the LORD;
I look to Him;
I await His word.
I am more eager for the Lord
than watchmen for the morning,
watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, wait for the LORD;
for with the LORD is steadfast love
and great power to redeem.
It is He who will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

A maskil of David, while he was in the cave. A prayer.
I cry aloud to the LORD;
I appeal to the LORD loudly for mercy.
I pour out my complaint before Him;
I lay my trouble before Him
when my spirit fails within me.
You know my course;
they have laid a trap in the path I walk.
Look at my right and see—
I have no friend;
there is nowhere I can flee,
no one cares about me.
So I cry to You, O LORD;
I say, “You are my refuge,
all I have in the land of the living.”
Listen to my cry, for I have been brought very low;
save me from my pursuers,
for they are too strong for me.
Free me from prison,
that I may praise Your name.
The righteous shall glory in me
for Your gracious dealings with me.
