For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; ¹  he did not overlook ²  their cry for help ³ 

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; ¹  this is the destiny of ²  all the nations that ignore ³  God,

He says to himself, ¹  “God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices.” ² 

All this has happened to us, even though we have not rejected you ¹  or violated your covenant with us. ² 

I am obligated to fulfill the vows I made to you, O God; ¹  I will give you the thank-offerings you deserve, ² 

whenever ¹  I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours.

I said, “I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.” ¹  (Selah)

I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening. ¹ 

Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”

I will remember the works of the Lord. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! ¹ 

They remembered that God was their protector, ¹  and that the sovereign God was their deliverer. ² 

You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; ¹  those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. ² 

You godly ones, rejoice in the Lord! Give thanks to his holy name. ¹ 

I am a friend to all your loyal followers, ¹  and to those who keep your precepts.

For ¹  I am like a wineskin ²  dried up in smoke. ³  I do not forget your statutes.

My life is in continual danger, ¹  but I do not forget your law.

By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep ²  when we remember Zion.

Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding; do not forget and do not turn aside from the words I speak. ¹ 

My child, guard the commands of your father and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.

I will bring on you lasting shame and lasting disgrace which will never be forgotten!’”
