(1) For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites. (2) Like a hind crying for water, my soul cries for You, O God; (3) my soul thirsts for God, the living God; O when will I come to appear before God! (4) My tears have been my food day and night; I am ever taunted with, “Where is your God?” (5) When I think of this, I pour out my soul: how I walked with the crowd, moved with them, the festive throng, to the House of God with joyous shouts of praise. (6) Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him for His saving presence. (7) O my God, my soul is downcast; therefore I think of You in this land of Jordan and Hermon, in Mount Mizar, (8) where deep calls to deep in the roar of Your cataracts; all Your breakers and billows have swept over me. (9) By day may the LORD vouchsafe His faithful care, so that at night a song to Him may be with me, a prayer to the God of my life. (10) I say to God, my rock, “Why have You forgotten me, why must I walk in gloom, oppressed by my enemy?” (11) Crushing my bones, my foes revile me, taunting me always with, “Where is your God?” (12) Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him, my ever-present help, my God.
(1) Vindicate me, O God, champion my cause against faithless people; rescue me from the treacherous, dishonest man. (2) For You are my God, my stronghold; why have You rejected me? Why must I walk in gloom, oppressed by the enemy? (3) Send forth Your light and Your truth; they will lead me; they will bring me to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling-place, (4) that I may come to the altar of God, God, my delight, my joy; that I may praise You with the lyre, O God, my God. (5) Why so downcast, my soul, why disquieted within me? Have hope in God; I will yet praise Him, my ever-present help, my God.

(1) For the leader. Of the Korahites. A maskil. (2) We have heard, O God, our fathers have told us the deeds You performed in their time, in days of old. (3) With Your hand You planted them, displacing nations; You brought misfortune on peoples, and drove them out. (4) It was not by their sword that they took the land, their arm did not give them victory, but Your right hand, Your arm, and Your goodwill, for You favored them. (5) You are my king, O God; decree victories for Jacob! (6) Through You we gore our foes; by Your name we trample our adversaries; (7) I do not trust in my bow; it is not my sword that gives me victory; (8) You give us victory over our foes; You thwart those who hate us. (9) In God we glory at all times, and praise Your name unceasingly.Selah. (10) Yet You have rejected and disgraced us; You do not go with our armies. (11) You make us retreat before our foe; our enemies plunder us at will. (12) You let them devour us like sheep; You disperse us among the nations. (13) You sell Your people for no fortune, You set no high price on them. (14) You make us the butt of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us. (15) You make us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. (16) I am always aware of my disgrace; I am wholly covered with shame (17) at the sound of taunting revilers, in the presence of the vengeful foe. (18) All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten You, or been false to Your covenant. (19) Our hearts have not gone astray, nor have our feet swerved from Your path, (20) though You cast us, crushed, to where the sea monster is, and covered us over with deepest darkness. (21) If we forgot the name of our God and spread forth our hands to a foreign god, (22) God would surely search it out, for He knows the secrets of the heart. (23) It is for Your sake that we are slain all day long, that we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered. (24) Rouse Yourself; why do You sleep, O Lord? Awaken, do not reject us forever! (25) Why do You hide Your face, ignoring our affliction and distress? (26) We lie prostrate in the dust; our body clings to the ground. (27) Arise and help us, redeem us, as befits Your faithfulness.

(1) A psalm of David when he fled from his son Absalom. (2) O LORD, my foes are so many! Many are those who attack me; (3) many say of me, “There is no deliverance for him through God.”Selah. (4) But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, He who holds my head high. (5) I cry aloud to the LORD, and He answers me from His holy mountain. Selah. (6) I lie down and sleep and wake again, for the LORD sustains me. (7) I have no fear of the myriad forces arrayed against me on every side. (8) Rise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For You slap all my enemies in the face; You break the teeth of the wicked. (9) Deliverance is the LORD’s; Your blessing be upon Your people!Selah.

(1) A song for ascents. I turn my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? (2) My help comes from the LORD, maker of heaven and earth. (3) He will not let your foot give way; your guardian will not slumber; (4) See, the guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps! (5) The LORD is your guardian, the LORD is your protection at your right hand. (6) By day the sun will not strike you, nor the moon by night. (7) The LORD will guard you from all harm; He will guard your life. (8) The LORD will guard your going and coming now and forever.
