1  We give thanks to you, O God;

we give thanks, for your name is ⁿnear.

We¹ recount your wondrous deeds.

2  “At ^othe set time that I appoint

I will judge ^pwith equity.

3  When the earth ^qtotters, and all its inhabitants,

it is I who keep steady its ^rpillars. Selah

4  I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

and to the wicked, ^s‘Do not lift up your horn;

5  do not lift up your horn on high,

or speak with haughty neck.’”

6  For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes ^tlifting up,

7  but it is ^uGod who executes judgment,

^vputting down one and lifting up another.

8  ^wFor in the hand of the Lord there is ^xa cup

with foaming wine, ^ywell mixed,

and he pours out from it,

and all the wicked of the earth

shall ^zdrain it down to the dregs.

9  But I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10  ^aAll the horns of the wicked I will cut off,

^bbut the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

1  In Judah God is ^eknown;

his name is great in Israel.

2  His ^fabode has been established in ^gSalem,

his ^hdwelling place in Zion.

3  There he ⁱbroke the flashing arrows,

the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4  Glorious are you, more majestic

^jthan the mountains full of ^kprey.

5  ^lThe stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;

^mthey sank into sleep;

all the men of war

were unable to use their hands.

6  At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,

both ⁿrider and horse lay stunned.

7  ^oBut you, you are to be feared!

Who can ^pstand before you

when once your anger is roused?

8  From the heavens you uttered judgment;

^qthe earth feared and was still,

9  when God ^rarose to establish judgment,

to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10  Surely ^sthe wrath of man shall praise you;

the remnant¹ of wrath you will put on like a belt.

11  ^tMake your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;

let all around him ^ubring gifts

to him who ^vis to be feared,

12  who ^wcuts off the spirit of princes,

who ^xis to be feared by the kings of the earth.

1  I ^acry aloud to God,

aloud to God, and he will hear me.

2  ^bIn the day of my trouble I seek the Lord;

in ^cthe night my ^dhand is stretched out without wearying;

my soul ^erefuses to be comforted.

3  When I remember God, I ^fmoan;

when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah

4  You hold my eyelids open;

I am so ^gtroubled that I cannot speak.

5  I consider ^hthe days of old,

the years long ago.

6  I said,¹ “Let me remember my ⁱsong in the night;

let me ^jmeditate in my heart.”

Then my spirit made a diligent search:

7  “Will the Lord ^kspurn forever,

and never again ^lbe favorable?

8  Has his steadfast love forever ceased?

Are his ^mpromises at an end for all time?

9  ⁿHas God forgotten to be gracious?

^oHas he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah

10  Then I said, “I will appeal to this,

to the years of the ^pright hand of the Most High.”²

11  I will remember the deeds of the Lord;

yes, I will ^qremember your wonders of old.

12  I will ponder all your ^rwork,

and meditate on your ^smighty deeds.

13  Your way, O God, is ^tholy.

^uWhat god is great like our God?

14  You are the God who ^vworks wonders;

you have ^wmade known your might among the peoples.

15  You ^xwith your arm redeemed your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16  When ^ythe waters saw you, O God,

when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

indeed, the deep trembled.

17  The clouds poured out water;

the skies ^zgave forth thunder;

your ^aarrows flashed on every side.

18  ^bThe crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

^cyour lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth ^dtrembled and shook.

19  Your ^eway was through the sea,

your path through the great waters;

yet your footprints ^fwere unseen.³

20  You ^gled your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

1  O God, ^zthe nations have come into your ^ainheritance;

they have defiled your ^bholy temple;

they have ^claid Jerusalem in ruins.

2  They have given ^dthe bodies of your servants

to the birds of the heavens for food,

the flesh of your ^efaithful to ^fthe beasts of the earth.

3  They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was ^gno one to bury them.

4  We have become ^ha taunt to our neighbors,

^hmocked and derided by those around us.

5  ⁱHow long, O Lord? Will you be angry ^jforever?

Will your ^kjealousy ^lburn like fire?

6  ^mPour out your anger on the nations

that ⁿdo not know you,

and on the kingdoms

that ^odo not call upon your name!

7  For they have devoured Jacob

and laid waste his habitation.

8  ^pDo not remember against us ^qour former iniquities;¹

let your compassion come speedily to meet us,

for we are ^rbrought very low.

9  ^sHelp us, O God of our salvation,

for the glory of your name;

deliver us, and ^tatone for our sins,

for your ^uname’s sake!

10  ^vWhy should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

Let ^wthe avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants

be known among the nations before our eyes!

11  Let ^xthe groans of the prisoners come before you;

according to your great power, preserve those ^ydoomed to die!

12  Return ^zsevenfold into the ^alap of our neighbors

the ^btaunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!

13  But we your people, the ^csheep of your pasture,

will ^dgive thanks to you forever;

from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
