my king and my God,
for I am praying to you!
7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done what they say,
or am guilty of unjust actions,
A prayer of David.
16:1 Protect me, O God, for I have taken shelter in you.
18:29 Indeed, with your help I can charge against an army;
by my God’s power I can jump over a wall.
18:47 The one true God completely vindicates me;
he makes nations submit to me.
22:2 My God, I cry out during the day,
but you do not answer,
and during the night my prayers do not let up.
24:6 Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor,
Jacob’s descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)
35:23 Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me!
My God and Lord, defend my just cause!
40:8 I want to do what pleases you, my God.

44:8 In God I boast all day long,
and we will continually give thanks to your name. (Selah)
45:6 Your throne, O God, is permanent.
The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
46:4 The river’s channels bring joy to the city of God,
the special, holy dwelling place of the sovereign One.
46:10 He says, “Stop your striving and recognize that I am God!
I will be exalted over the nations! I will be exalted over the earth!”
47:6 Sing to God! Sing!
Sing to our king! Sing!
48:9 We reflect on your loyal love, O God,
within your temple.
49:15 But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol;
certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)
50:14 Present to God a thank-offering!
Repay your vows to the sovereign One!
51:10 Create for me a pure heart, O God!
Renew a resolute spirit within me!
54:2 O God, listen to my prayer!
Pay attention to what I say!
56:7 Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape!
In your anger bring down the nations, O God!
56:9 My enemies will turn back when I cry out to you for help;
I know that God is on my side.
56:11 in God I trust, I am not afraid.
What can mere men do to me?
56:12 I am obligated to fulfill the vows I made to you, O God;
I will give you the thank-offerings you deserve,
57:5 Rise up above the sky, O God!
May your splendor cover the whole earth!
57:7 I am determined, O God! I am determined!
I will sing and praise you!
57:11 Rise up above the sky, O God!
May your splendor cover the whole earth!
58:6 O God, break the teeth in their mouths!
Smash the jawbones of the lions, O Lord!
59:9 You are my source of strength! I will wait for you!
For God is my refuge.
62:5 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul!
For he is the one who gives me confidence.
64:9 and all people will fear.
They will proclaim what God has done,
and reflect on his deeds.
66:8 Praise our God, you nations!
Loudly proclaim his praise!
66:19 However, God heard;
he listened to my prayer.
66:20 God deserves praise,
for he did not reject my prayer
or abandon his love for me!
67:3 Let the nations thank you, O God!
Let all the nations thank you!
67:5 Let the nations thank you, O God!
Let all the nations thank you!
67:7 May God bless us!
Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves.
68:7 O God, when you lead your people into battle,
when you march through the desert, (Selah)
68:9 O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people.
When they are tired, you sustain them,
68:31 They come with red cloth from Egypt,
Ethiopia voluntarily offers tribute to God.
69:5 O God, you are aware of my foolish sins;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
69:35 For God will deliver Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah,
and his people will again live in them and possess Zion.
71:4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,
from the hand of the cruel oppressor!
71:11 They say, “God has abandoned him.
Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!”
Book 3
(Psalms 73-89)
A psalm by Asaph.
73:1 Certainly God is good to Israel,
and to those whose motives are pure!
74:10 How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults?
Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
74:12 But God has been my king from ancient times,
performing acts of deliverance on the earth.
76:6 At the sound of your battle cry, O God of Jacob,
both rider and horse “fell asleep.”
76:9 when God arose to execute judgment,
and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
77:3 I said, “I will remember God while I groan;
I will think about him while my strength leaves me.” (Selah)
77:9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
77:14 You are the God who does amazing things;
you have revealed your strength among the nations.
78:56 Yet they challenged and defied the sovereign God,
and did not obey his commands.
80:3 O God, restore us!
Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!
82:6 I thought, ‘You are gods;
all of you are sons of the Most High.’
82:8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth!
For you own all the nations.
83:13 O my God, make them like dead thistles,
like dead weeds blown away by the wind!
85:4 Restore us, O God our deliverer!
Do not be displeased with us!
86:10 For you are great and do amazing things.
You alone are God.
86:15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and merciful God.
You are patient and demonstrate great loyal love and faithfulness.
89:26 He will call out to me,
‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’
91:2 I say this about the Lord, my shelter and my stronghold,
my God in whom I trust –
108:5 Rise up above the sky, O God!
May your splendor cover the whole earth!
119:115 Turn away from me, you evil men,
so that I can observe the commands of my God.
139:17 How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God!
How vast is their sum total!
139:19 If only you would kill the wicked, O God!
Get away from me, you violent men!
144:9 O God, I will sing a new song to you!
Accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, I will sing praises to you,
147:1 Praise the Lord,
for it is good to sing praises to our God!
Yes, praise is pleasant and appropriate!
149:6 May they praise God
while they hold a two-edged sword in their hand,
150:1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary!
Praise him in the sky, which testifies to his strength!
