1  O Lord, ^uwho shall sojourn in your ^vtent?

Who shall dwell on your ^wholy hill?

2  He who ^xwalks blamelessly and ^ydoes what is right

and ^zspeaks truth in his heart;

3  who ^adoes not slander with his tongue

and does no evil to his neighbor,

nor ^btakes up a reproach against his friend;

4  ^cin whose eyes a vile person is despised,

but who honors those who fear the Lord;

who ^dswears to his own hurt and does not change;

5  who ^edoes not put out his money at interest

and ^fdoes not take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be ^gmoved.

1  Preserve me, O God, for in you I ⁱtake refuge.

2  I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;

^jI have no good apart from you.”

3  As for ^kthe saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,

in whom is all my delight.²

4  The sorrows of those who run after³ another god shall multiply;

their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out

or ^ltake their names on my lips.

5  The Lord is ^mmy chosen portion and my ⁿcup;

you hold my ^olot.

6  ^pThe lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

7  I bless the Lord who ^qgives me counsel;

in ^rthe night also my ^sheart instructs me.⁴

8  ^tI have ^uset the Lord always before me;

because he is at my ^vright hand, I shall not be ^wshaken.

9  Therefore my heart is glad, and my ^xwhole being⁵ rejoices;

my flesh also dwells secure.

10  For you will not abandon my soul to ^ySheol,

^zor let your ^aholy one see ^bcorruption.⁶

11  You make known to me ^cthe path of life;

in your presence there is ^dfullness of joy;

at your right hand are ^epleasures forevermore.

^b“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

3  ^cmy¹ God, my rock, ^din whom I take refuge,

^emy shield, and ^fthe horn of my salvation,

^gmy stronghold and ^hmy refuge,

my savior; you save me from violence.

4  I call upon the Lord, who is ⁱworthy to be praised,

and I am saved from my enemies.

5  ^j“For the waves of death encompassed me,

the torrents of destruction assailed me;²

6  ^kthe cords of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

7  ^l“In my distress I called upon the Lord;

to my God I called.

From his temple he heard my voice,

and my cry ^mcame to his ears.

14  ^wThe Lord thundered from heaven,

and the Most High uttered his voice.

15  And he sent out ^xarrows and scattered them;

lightning, and routed them.

16  Then the channels of the sea were seen;

the foundations of the world were laid bare,

at the rebuke of the Lord,

at the ^yblast of the breath of his nostrils.

17  ^z“He sent from on high, he took me;

he drew me out of many waters.

18  He rescued me from my strong enemy,

from those who hated me,

for they were too mighty for me.

19  They confronted me in the day of my calamity,

but the Lord was my support.

20  ^aHe brought me out into a broad place;

he rescued me, because ^bhe delighted in me.

32  “For who is God, but the Lord?

^oAnd who is a rock, except our God?

33  This God is my ^pstrong refuge

and has made my¹ way blameless.²

34  ^qHe made my feet like the feet of a deer

and set me secure ^ron the heights.

35  ^sHe trains my hands for war,

so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

36  You have given me the shield of your salvation,

and your gentleness made me great.

37  ^tYou gave a wide place for my steps under me,

and my feet³ did not slip;

38  I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,

and did not turn back until they were consumed.

39  I consumed them; I thrust them through, so that they did not rise;

they fell ^uunder my feet.

40  For you equipped me with strength for the battle;

you made ^vthose who rise against me sink under me.

41  You ^wmade my enemies turn their backs to me,⁴

those who hated me, and I destroyed them.

42  They looked, but there was none to save;

they cried to the Lord, but ^xhe did not answer them.

43  I beat them fine ^yas the dust of the earth;

I crushed them and stamped them down ^zlike the mire of the streets.

44  “You delivered me from strife with my people;⁵

you kept me as the head of ^athe nations;

^bpeople whom I had not known served me.

45  Foreigners came cringing to me;

as soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me.

46  Foreigners lost heart

and came trembling^{6 c}out of their fortresses.

47  “The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,

and exalted be ^dmy God, ^ethe rock of my salvation,

48  the God who gave me vengeance

and ^fbrought down peoples under me,

49  who brought me out from my enemies;

you exalted me above ^vthose who rose against me;

you delivered me from ^gmen of violence.

50  ^h“For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,

and sing praises to your name.

51  ⁱGreat salvation he brings⁷ to his king,

and shows steadfast love to ^jhis anointed,

to David and his offspring ^kforever.”
