2:5 Then he angrily speaks to them
and terrifies them in his rage, saying,
3:4 To the Lord I cried out,
and he answered me from his holy hill. (Selah)
7:11 God is a just judge;
he is angry throughout the day.
9:7 But the Lord rules forever;
he reigns in a just manner.
9:9 Consequently the Lord provides safety for the oppressed;
he provides safety in times of trouble.
9:11 Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion!
Tell the nations what he has done!
10:6 He says to himself,
“I will never be upended,
because I experience no calamity.”
11:7 Certainly the Lord is just;
he rewards godly deeds;
the upright will experience his favor.
13:6 I will sing praises to the Lord
when he vindicates me.
15:3 He does not slander,
or do harm to others,
or insult his neighbor.
18:14 He shot his arrows and scattered them,
many lightning bolts and routed them.
18:20 The Lord repaid me for my godly deeds;
he rewarded my blameless behavior.
18:24 The Lord rewarded me for my godly deeds;
he took notice of my blameless behavior.
18:32 The one true God gives me strength;
he removes the obstacles in my way.
18:34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend even the strongest bow.
18:47 The one true God completely vindicates me;
he makes nations submit to me.
24:2 For he set its foundation upon the seas,
and established it upon the ocean currents.
24:10 Who is this majestic king?
The Lord who commands armies!
He is the majestic king! (Selah)
28:6 The Lord deserves praise,
for he has heard my plea for mercy!
28:8 The Lord strengthens his people;
he protects and delivers his chosen king.
29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
and Sirion like a young ox.
33:4 For the Lord’s decrees are just,
and everything he does is fair.
33:10 The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations;
he nullifies the plans of the peoples.
33:15 He is the one who forms every human heart,
and takes note of all their actions.
33:20 We wait for the Lord;
he is our deliverer and shield.
34:6 This oppressed man cried out and the Lord heard;
he saved him from all his troubles.
34:17 The godly cry out and the Lord hears;
he saves them from all their troubles.
34:18 The Lord is near the brokenhearted;
he delivers those who are discouraged.
34:20 He protects all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
36:2 for he is too proud
to recognize and give up his sin.
37:4 Then you will take delight in the Lord,
and he will answer your prayers.
37:5 Commit your future to the Lord!
Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.
37:6 He will vindicate you in broad daylight,
and publicly defend your just cause.
37:13 The Lord laughs in disgust at them,
for he knows that their day is coming.
37:23 The Lord grants success to the one
whose behavior he finds commendable.
37:26 All day long he shows compassion and lends to others,
and his children are blessed.
37:39 But the Lord delivers the godly;
he protects them in times of trouble.
41:5 My enemies ask this cruel question about me,
‘When will he finally die and be forgotten?’
44:21 would not God discover it,
for he knows one’s thoughts?
48:3 God is in its fortresses;
he reveals himself as its defender.
48:14 For God, our God, is our defender forever!
He guides us!
49:7 Certainly a man cannot rescue his brother;
he cannot pay God an adequate ransom price
49:9 so that he might continue to live forever
and not experience death.
49:19 But he will join his ancestors;
they will never again see the light of day.
54:7 Surely he rescues me from all trouble,
and I triumph over my enemies.
55:17 During the evening, morning, and noontime
I will lament and moan,
and he will hear me.
60:12 By God’s power we will conquer;
he will trample down our enemies.
61:7 May he reign forever before God!
Decree that your loyal love and faithfulness should protect him.
62:5 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul!
For he is the one who gives me confidence.
66:2 Sing praises about the majesty of his reputation!
Give him the honor he deserves!
66:9 He preserves our lives
and does not allow our feet to slip.
66:20 God deserves praise,
for he did not reject my prayer
or abandon his love for me!
68:33 to the one who rides through the sky from ancient times!
Look! He thunders loudly.
69:33 For the Lord listens to the needy;
he does not despise his captive people.
72:2 Then he will judge your people fairly,
and your oppressed ones equitably.
72:6 He will descend like rain on the mown grass,
like showers that drench the earth.
72:18 The Lord God, the God of Israel, deserves praise!
He alone accomplishes amazing things!
75:7 For God is the judge!
He brings one down and exalts another.
76:12 He humbles princes;
the kings of the earth regard him as awesome.
77:7 I asked, “Will the Lord reject me forever?
Will he never again show me his favor?
78:16 He caused streams to flow from the rock,
and made the water flow like rivers.
78:23 He gave a command to the clouds above,
and opened the doors in the sky.
78:25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones.
He sent them more than enough to eat.
78:28 He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp,
all around their homes.
78:29 They ate until they were stuffed;
he gave them what they desired.
78:33 So he caused them to die unsatisfied
and filled with terror.
78:34 When he struck them down, they sought his favor;
they turned back and longed for God.
78:44 He turned their rivers into blood,
and they could not drink from their streams.
78:45 He sent swarms of biting insects against them,
as well as frogs that overran their land.
78:46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
the fruit of their labor to the locust.
78:47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycamore-fig trees with driving rain.
78:48 He rained hail down on their cattle,
and hurled lightning bolts down on their livestock.
78:53 He guided them safely along,
while the sea covered their enemies.
78:62 He delivered his people over to the sword,
and was angry with his chosen nation.
78:70 He chose David, his servant,
and took him from the sheepfolds.
78:72 David cared for them with pure motives;
he led them with skill.
91:3 he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the hunter
and from the destructive plague.
91:11 For he will order his angels
to protect you in all you do.
95:5 The sea is his, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
96:2 Sing to the Lord! Praise his name!
Announce every day how he delivers!
96:8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves!
Bring an offering and enter his courts!
99:1 The Lord reigns!
The nations tremble.
He sits enthroned above the winged angels;
the earth shakes.
99:2 The Lord is elevated in Zion;
he is exalted over all the nations.
99:3 Let them praise your great and awesome name!
He is holy!
99:5 Praise the Lord our God!
Worship before his footstool!
He is holy!
100:5 For the Lord is good.
His loyal love endures,
and he is faithful through all generations.
102:17 when he responds to the prayer of the destitute,
and does not reject their request.
103:3 He is the one who forgives all your sins,
who heals all your diseases,
103:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful;
he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.
104:4 He makes the winds his messengers,
and the flaming fire his attendant.
104:5 He established the earth on its foundations;
it will never be upended.
105:4 Seek the Lord and the strength he gives!
Seek his presence continually!
105:10 He gave it to Jacob as a decree,
to Israel as a lasting promise,
105:17 He sent a man ahead of them –
Joseph was sold as a servant.
105:21 He put him in charge of his palace,
and made him manager of all his property,
105:25 He caused them to hate his people,
and to mistreat his servants.
105:32 He sent hail along with the rain;
there was lightning in their land.
105:33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees,
and broke the trees throughout their territory.
105:36 He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of their reproductive power.
105:37 He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold;
none of his tribes stumbled.
105:41 He opened up a rock and water flowed out;
a river ran through dry regions.
105:43 When he led his people out, they rejoiced;
his chosen ones shouted with joy.
106:13 They quickly forgot what he had done;
they did not wait for his instructions.
106:41 He handed them over to the nations,
and those who hated them ruled over them.
106:45 He remembered his covenant with them,
and relented because of his great loyal love.
Book 5
(Psalms 107-150)
107:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
and his loyal love endures!
107:6 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:12 So he used suffering to humble them;
they stumbled and no one helped them up.
107:13 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:14 He brought them out of the utter darkness,
and tore off their shackles.
107:16 For he shattered the bronze gates,
and hacked through the iron bars.
107:19 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:22 Let them present thank offerings,
and loudly proclaim what he has done!
107:25 He gave the order for a windstorm,
and it stirred up the waves of the sea.
107:28 They cried out to the Lord in their distress;
he delivered them from their troubles.
107:33 He turned streams into a desert,
springs of water into arid land,
107:36 He allowed the hungry to settle there,
and they established a city in which to live.
108:13 By God’s power we will conquer;
he will trample down our enemies.
109:11 May the creditor seize all he owns!
May strangers loot his property!
111:4 He does amazing things that will be remembered;
the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
112:6 For he will never be upended;
others will always remember one who is just.
113:6 He bends down to look
at the sky and the earth.
113:7 He raises the poor from the dirt,
and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile,
113:8 that he might seat him with princes,
with the princes of his people.
113:9 He makes the barren woman of the family
a happy mother of children.
Praise the Lord!
115:9 O Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their deliverer and protector.
115:10 O family of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their deliverer and protector.
115:11 You loyal followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their deliverer and protector.
115:14 May he increase your numbers,
yours and your children’s!
115:16 The heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has given to mankind.
116:1 I love the Lord
because he heard my plea for mercy,
116:6 The Lord protects the untrained;
I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.
118:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
and his loyal love endures!
118:14 The Lord gives me strength and protects me;
he has become my deliverer.”
118:18 The Lord severely punished me,
but he did not hand me over to death.
118:29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good
and his loyal love endures!
121:3 May he not allow your foot to slip!
May your protector not sleep!
121:7 The Lord will protect you from all harm;
he will protect your life.
124:6 The Lord deserves praise,
for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
129:4 The Lord is just;
he cut the ropes of the wicked.”
130:8 He will deliver Israel
from all the consequences of their sins.
132:3 He said, “I will not enter my own home,
or get into my bed.
132:13 Certainly the Lord has chosen Zion;
he decided to make it his home.
135:8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
including both men and animals.
135:12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
as an inheritance to Israel his people.
135:21 The Lord deserves praise in Zion –
he who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!
136:1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his loyal love endures.
145:8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate;
he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.

Your loyal followers will praise you.
145:17 The Lord is just in all his actions,
and exhibits love in all he does.
145:20 The Lord protects those who love him,
but he destroys all the wicked.
147:9 He gives food to the animals,
and to the young ravens when they chirp.
147:15 He sends his command through the earth;
swiftly his order reaches its destination.
147:19 He proclaims his word to Jacob,
his statutes and regulations to Israel.
149:4 For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.
