8:2 From the mouths of children and nursing babies
you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries,
so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.
21:6 For you grant him lasting blessings;
you give him great joy by allowing him into your presence.
25:5 Guide me into your truth and teach me.
For you are the God who delivers me;
on you I rely all day long.
30:9 “What profit is there in taking my life,
in my descending into the Pit?
Can the dust of the grave praise you?
Can it declare your loyalty?
31:2 Listen to me!
Quickly deliver me!
Be my protector and refuge,
a stronghold where I can be safe!
35:2 Grab your small shield and large shield,
and rise up to help me!
52:5 Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins.
He will scoop you up and remove you from your home;
he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)
65:8 Even those living in the most remote areas are awestruck by your acts;
you cause those living in the east and west to praise you.
71:17 O God, you have taught me since I was young,
and I am still declaring your amazing deeds.
71:22 I will express my thanks to you with a stringed instrument,
praising your faithfulness, O my God!
I will sing praises to you accompanied by a harp,
O Holy One of Israel!
A well-written song by Asaph.
78:1 Pay attention, my people, to my instruction!
Listen to the words I speak!
79:8 Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations!
Quickly send your compassion our way,
for we are in serious trouble!
80:7 O God, invincible warrior, restore us!
Smile on us! Then we will be delivered!
86:2 Protect me, for I am loyal!
O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you!
88:5 adrift among the dead,
like corpses lying in the grave,
whom you remember no more,
and who are cut off from your power.
88:15 I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth.
I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.
104:4 He makes the winds his messengers,
and the flaming fire his attendant.
139:14 I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing.
You knew me thoroughly;
