Psalm 3:1-2-3-4,
5-8 “ADONAI, how many enemies I have! How countless are those
attacking me;
how
countless those who say of me, ‘There is no salvation for him in GOD.’
(Selah)
But you, ADONAI,
are a shield for me; You are my glory, you life my head high.
With my
voice I call out to ADONAI, and He answers me from His Holy Hill.
(Selah)
I lie down
and sleep, then wake up again, because ADONAI sustains me.
I am not
afraid of the tens of thousands set against me on every side.
Rise up ADONAI!
Save me, my GOD!
For You slap
all my enemies in the face, You smash the teeth of the wicked.
Victory
comes for ADOANI; may Your Blessing rest on Your people.
(Selah)”
Psalm 4:1-2-3-4-5
“O GOD, my vindicator!
Answer me
when I call!
When I was
distressed, You set me free; now have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Men of rank,
how long will you shame my honor, love what is vain, chase after lies?
(Selah)
Understand
that ADONAI set apart the Godly person for Himself;
ADONAI
will hear when I call to Him.
You can be
angry, but do not sin!
Think about
this as you lie in bed, and calm down.
(Selah)
Offer
sacrifices rightly, and put your trust in ADONAI.
Psalm 7:3-5
“ANODAI, my GOD, if I have caused this, if there is guilt on my hands,
if I paid back evil to him who was at peace with me, when I spared those who
opposed me without cause;
Then let the
enemy pursue me until he overtakes me and tramples my life down into the earth;
yes, let him
lay my honor in the dust.
(Selah)”
Psalm 9:15-16,
19-20 “The nations have drowned in the pit they dug,
caught their
own feet in the net they hid.
ADONAI
made Himself known and executed Judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of
their own hands.
(Higgayon;
Selah)
Arise! ADONAI!
Don’t let mortals prevail!
Let the
nations be Judged in Your Presence, strike them with terror, ADONAI!
Let the
nations know they are only human.
(Selah)”
Psalm 20:1- 3-4
“May ADONAI answer you in times of distress, may The Name of The GOD of
Ya’akov protect you.
May He send
you help from The Sanctuary and give you support from Tziyon.
May He be
reminded of all your grain offerings.
(Selah)
May He grant
you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to success.”
Psalm 21:1-2
“ADONAI, the king finds joy in Your Strength; what great joy he displays
in Your victory!

Psalm 24:3-6,
9-10 “Who may go up to the mountain of ADONAI?
Who can
stand in His Holy Place?
Those with
clean hands and pure hearts, who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives
or swear oaths just to deceive.
They will
receive a blessing from ADONAI and Justice from GOD, who saves them.
Such is the
character of those who seek Him, of Ya’akov, who seeks Your face.
(Selah)
Lift up your
heads, you gates!
Lift them up
everlasting doors, so that The Glorious King can enter!
Who is He,
this Glorious King?
ADONAI–TZVA’OT
– He is The Glorious King.
(Selah)”
Psalm 32:3-4-7
“When I kept silent, my bones wasted away because of my groaning all day long;
day and
night Your hand was heavy on me; the sap in me dried up as in a summer drought.
(Selah)
When I
acknowledged my sin to You, when I stopped concealing my guilt, and said,
‘I will
confess my offences to ADONAI’; then You, You forgave the guilt of my
sin.
(Selah)
This is what
everyone faithful should pray at a time when You can be found.
Then, when
the flood waters are raging, they will not reach to him.
You are a
hiding place for me, You will keep me from distress;
You will
surround me with songs of deliverance.
(Selah)”
Psalm 39:4-5-6,
10-11 “’Make me grasp, ADONAI, what my end must be, what it means
that my days are numbered; let me know what a transient creature I am.
You have
made my days like handbreadths; for You, the length of my life is like
nothing.’
Yes,
everyone, no matter how firmly he stands, is merely a puff of wind.
(Selah)
Humans go
about like shadows; their turmoil is all for nothing.
They
accumulate wealth, not knowing who will enjoy it benefits.
Stop raining
blows on me; the pounding of Your fist is wearing me down.
With rebukes
You discipline people for their guilt; like a moth,
You destroy
what makes them attractive; yes, everyone is merely a puff of wind.
(Selah)”
Psalm 44:5-8
“Through You we pushed away our foes, through Your Name we trampled down our
assailants.
For I don’t
rely on my bow, nor can my sword give me victory.
No, You
saved us from our adversaries; You put to shame those who hate us.
We will
boast in our GOD all day and give thanks forever.
(Selah)”
Psalm 46:1-3,
7-11 “GOD is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in
trouble.
Therefore we
are unafraid, even if the earth gives way, even if the mountains tumble into
the depths of the sea, even if its waters rage and foam, and mountains shake at
it turbulence.
(Selah)
ADONAI–TZVA’OT
is with us, our fortress, The GOD of Ya’akov.
(Selah)
Come and see
the Works of ADONAI, the astounding deeds Hw has done on the earth.
To the ends
of the earth He makes wars cease – He breaks the bow, snaps the spear, burns
the shields in the fire. ‘Desist, and learn that I Am GOD, supreme over the
nations, supreme over the earth.’
ADONAI–TZVA’OT
is with us, our fortress, The GOD of Ya’akov.
(Selah)”
Psalm 47:1-4
“Clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to GOD
with cries of joy!
For ADONAI
‘ELYON is awesome, a Great King over all the earth.
He makes
peoples subject to us, puts nations under our feet.
He chooses
our heritage for us, the pride of Ya’akov, whom He Loves.
(Selah)”
Psalm 48:1-8
“Great is ADONAI and greatly to be praised, in the City of our GOD, His
Holy Mountain, beautiful in its elevation, the joy of all the earth, Mount
Tziyon, in the far north, The city of the Great King.
In its
citadels GOD has been revealed as a strong defense.
For the
kings met by agreement; together they advanced.
They saw and
were filled with consternation; terrified they took to flight.
Trembling
took hold of them, pains like those of a woman in labor,
as when the
wind out of the east wrecks the ‘Tarshish’ ships.
We heard it,
and now we see for ourselves in The City of ADONAI–TZVA’OT, in The City
of our GOD.
May GOD establish
it forever.
(Selah)”
Psalm 49:5-13-15
“Why should I fear when the days bring trouble, when the evil of my pursuers
surrounds me, the evil of those who rely on their wealth and boast how rich
they are?
No one can
ever redeem his brother or give GOD a ransom for him,
because the
price for him is too high (leave the idea completely alone!)
to have him
live on eternally and never see the pit.
For he can
see that wise men will die;
like the
fool and the brute will perish and leave their wealth to others.
They think
their homes will last forever, their dwellings through all generations;
they give
their own names to their estates.
But people,
even rich ones, will live only briefly; then, like animals, they will die.
This is the manner of life of the foolish and
those who come after, approving their words.
(Selah)
Like sheep,
they are destined for Sh’ol; death will be their shepherd.
The upright
will rule them in the morning; and their forms will waste away in Sh’ol, until
they need no dwelling.
But GOD will
redeem me from Sh’ol’s control, because He will receive me.
(Selah)”
Psalm 50:1-6
“The Mighty One, GOD, ADONAI, is speaking, summoning the world from east
to west.
Out of
Tziyon, the perfection of beauty, GOD is shining forth.
Our GOD is
coming and not staying slient.
With a fire
devouring ahead of Him and a great storm raging around Him,
He calls to
the heavens above and to earth, in order to judge His people.
‘Gather to
Me My faithful, those who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.’
The heavens
proclaim His Righteousness, for GOD Himself is Judge.
(Selah)”
Psalm 52:3-5
“You love evil more than good, lies rather than speaking uprightly.
(Selah)
You love all
words that eat people up, you deceitful tongue!
This is why
GOD will strike you down, seize you, pluck you from your tent and uproot ypu
from the land of the living.
(Selah)”
Psalm 54:1-3
“GOD, deliver me by Your Name; in Your power, vindicate me.
GOD, hear my
prayer; listen to the words of my mouth.
For
foreigners are rising against me, violent men are seeking my life;
they give no
thought to GOD.
(Selah)”
Psalm 55:1-7-8, 16-19 “Listen, GOD to my prayer!
Don’t hide Yourself from My plea!
Pay attention to me, and answer me!
I am panic stricken as I make my complaint, I shudder at how the enemy
shouts, at how the wicked oppress, for they keep heaping trouble on me and angrily
tormenting me.
My heart within me is pounding in anguish, the terrors of death press
down on me,
fear and trembling overwhelm me, horror covers me.
I said, ‘I wish I had wings like a dove!
Then I could fly away and be at rest.
Yes, I would flee to a place far off, I would stay in the desert.
(Selah)
I would quickly find me a shelter from the raging wind and storm.
But I will call on GOD, and ADONAI will save me.
Evening, morning and noon I complain and moan; but He hears my voice.
He redeems me and gives me peace, so that no one can come near me.
For there are many who fought me.
GOD will hear and humble them, yes, He who has sat on his Throne from
the start.
(Selah)
For they never change; and they don’t fear GOD.”
Psalm 57:3,
5- 6 “He will send from Heaven and save me when those who would trample
me down mock me.
(Selah)
GOD will
send His Grace and His Truth.
Be exhaled,
GOD, above Heaven!
May Your
Glory be over all the earth!
They
prepared a snare for my feet, but I am bending over [to avoid it].
They dug a
pit ahead of me, but they fell into it themselves.
(Selah)”
Psalm 59:1-5,
11-13 “My GOD, rescue me from my enemies!
Lift me up,
out of the reach of my foes!
Rescue me
from evildoers, save me from bloodthirsty men.
For there
they are, lying in wait to kill me.
Openly they
gather themselves against me, and not because I committed a crime or sinned, ADONAI.
For no fault
of mine they run and prepare.
Awaken to
help me, and see!
You, ADONNAI
ELOHEI–TZVA’OT, GOD of Isra’el,
arouse
Yourself to punish all nations; spare none of those wicked traitors.
(Selah)
Don’t kill
them, or my people will forget;
instead, by
Your Power, make them wander to and fro;
but bring
them down, ADONAI, our shield,
for the sins
their mouths make with each word from their lips.
Let them be
trapped by their pride for the curses and falsehoods they utter.
Finish them
off, put an end to them, and let them know to the ends of the earth that GOD is
ruler in Ya’akov.
(Selah)”
Psalm 60:4-5
“To those who fear You because of the Truth You gave a banner to rally around,
(Selah)
so that
those You Love could be rescued; so save with Your right hand, and answer us!”
Psalm 61:3-4-5
“For You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the foe.
I will live
in Your Tent forever and find refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
(Selah)
For You,
GOD, have heard my vows;
You have
given me the heritage of those who fear Your Name.”
Psalm 62:3-4,
7-8-10 “How long will you assail a person in order to murder him, all of
you,
As if he
were a sagging wall or a shaky fence?
They only
want to shake him from his height, they take delight in lying –
With their
mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse.
(Selah)
My safety
and honor rest in GOD.
My strong
Rock and Refuge are in GOD.
Trust in
Him, people, at all times;
pour out
your heart before Him; GOD is a refuge for us.
(Selah)
Ordinary
folks are merely a breath and important people a sham;
if you lay
them on a balance-scale, they go up – both together are lighter than nothing.
Don’t put
you trust in extortion, don’t put false hopes in robbery;
even if
wealth increases, don’t set your heart on it.”
Psalm 66:1-4-5-7,
13-15 “Shout to GOD, all the earth!
Sing Glory
to His Name, make His praise Glorious.
Tell GOD,
‘How awesome are Your deeds!
At Your
Great Power, Your enemies cringe
All the
earth bows down to You, sings praises to You, sings praises to Your Name.’
(Selah)
Come and see
what GOD has done, His awesome dealings with humankind.
He turned
the sea into dry land.
They passed
through the river on foot; there we rejoiced in Him.
With His
Power He Rules forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations.
Let no rebel
arise to challenge Him.
(Selah)
I will come
into Your House with burnt offerings, I will fulfill my vows to You,
those my
lips pronounced and my south spoke when I was in distress.
I will offer
You burnt offerings of fattened animals, along with the sweet smoke of rams;
I will offer
bulls and goats.
(Selah)”
Psalm 67:1-4
“GOD, be gracious to us, and bless us.
May He make
His face shine toward us,
(Selah)
so that Your
Way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.
Let the
peoples give thanks to You, GOD; let the peoples give thinks to You, all of
them.
Let the
nations be glad and shout for joy, for you will judge the peoples fairly and
guide the nations on earth.
(Selah)”
Psalm 68:7-10,
19-23, 32-35 “GOD, when You went out at the head of Your people,
when you marched out through the wilderness,
(Selah)
the earth
quaked, and rain poured from the sky, at the presence of GOD.
Even Sinai
[shook] at the presence of GOD, The GOD of Isra’el.
You rained
down showers in plenty, GOD; when your heritage was weary, You restored it.
Your flock
settles in it; in Your Goodness, GOD, You provided for the poor.
Blessed be ADONAI!
Every day He
bears our burden, does GOD, our salvation.
(Selah)
Our GOD is a
GOD who Saves; from ADONAI ADONAI comes escape from death.
GOD will
surely crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who continue
in their guilt.
ADONAI
said, ‘I will bring them back from Bashan, I will fetch [those rebels] even
from the depths of the sea; so that you can wash your feet in their blood, and
your dogs’ tongues can get their share from your foes.’
Sing to GOD,
kingdoms of the earth!
Sing praises
to ADONAI,
(Selah)
to Him who
rides on the most ancient heavens.
Listen, as
He utters His voice, a mighty voice!
Acknowledge
that strength belongs to GOD, with His majesty over Isra’el and His strength in
the skies.
How awe
inspiring You are, GOD, from Your Holy places, The GOD of Isra’el, who gives
strength and power to the people.
Blessed Be
GOD!”
Psalm 75:2-3
“At the time of My own choice, I will dispense justice fairly.
When the
earth quakes, with all living on it, it is I who hold it’s support pillars
firm.
(Selah)”
Psalm 76:1-3,
7-9 “In Y’hudah GOD is known; His Name is great in Isra’el.
His tent is
in Shalem, His place is in Tziyon.
There He
broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.
(Selah)
You are
fearsome, when once You are angry, who can stand in Your presence?
You
pronounce sentence from Heaven; the earth grows silent with fear when GOD
arises to judge, to save all the humble of the earth.
(Selah)”
Psalm 77:1-3-9-10,
14-15 “I cry aloud to GOD, aloud to GOD; and He hears me.
On the day
of my distress I am seeking ADONAI; my hands are lifted up; my tears
flow all night without ceasing; my heart refuses comfort.
When
remembering GOD, I moan; when I ponder, my spirit fails.
(Selah)
You hold my
eyelids, [and keep me from sleeping]; I am too troubled to speak.
I think
about the days of old, the years of long ago; in the night I remember my song,
I communicate with myself, my spirit inquires: ‘Will ADONAI reject forever?
Will He
never show His favor again?
Has His
Grace permanently disappeared?
Is His Word
to all generations done away?
Has GOD
forgotten to be compassionate?
Has He in
anger withheld His Mercy?’
(Selah)
Then I said,
‘That’s my weakness – [supposing] The Most High’s right hand could change.’”
You are The
GOD who does wonders, you revealed Your strength to the peoples.
With Your
arm You redeemed Your people, the descendents of Ya’akov and Yosef.
(Selah)”
Psalm 81:5b-7-10
“I heard an unfamiliar voice say, ‘I lifted the load from his shoulder; his
hands were freed from the [laborer’s] basket.
You called
out when you were in trouble, and I rescued you; I answered you from the
thundercloud, I tested you at the M’rivah Spring [by saying,]
(Selah)
Hear, My
people, while I give you warning!
Isra’el if
you would only listen to Me!
There is not
to be with you any foreign god; you are not to worship an alien god.
I Am ADONAI
your GOD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open your
mouth and I will fill it.’”
Psalm 82:1-2-4
“ELOHIM [GOD] stands in The divine Assembly; there with the elohim
[judges], He judges: ‘How long will you go on judging unfairly, favoring the
wicked?
(Selah)
Give justice
to the weak and fatherless!
Uphold the
rights of the wretched and poor!
Rescue the
destitute and needy; deliver them from the power of the wicked!’”
Psalm 83:4-8-9
“They say, ‘Come, let’s wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Isra’el be
remember no more!’
With one
mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they have made is against You – the
tents of Edom and the Yishma’elim, Mo’av and Hagrim, G’val, ‘Amon and ‘Amalek,
P’leshet with those living in Tzor;
(Selah)
Ashur too is
allied with them, to reinforce the descendents of Lot.”
Psalm 84:4-8-10
“How happy are those who live in Your House; they never cease to praise You!
(Selah)
How happy
the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are [pilgrim] highways.
Passing
through the [dry] Baka Valley, they make it a place of springs, and the early
rain clothes it with blessings.
They go from
strength to strength and appear before GOD in Tziyon.
ADONAI,
GOD of armies, hear my prayer; listen, GOD of Ya’akov.
(Selah)
GOD, see our
shield [the king]; look at the face of Your anointed.
Better a day
in Your courtyards than a thousand [days elsewhere].
Better just
standing at the door of my GOD’s House than living in the tents of the wicked.”
Psalm 85:1-2-3
“ADONAI, You have shown favor to Your land; You have restored the
fortunes of Ya’akov, taken away the guilt of Your people, pardoned all their
sin,
(Selah)
withdrawn
all Your wrath, turned from Your fierce anger.”
Psalm 87:1-2-6,7
“On the Holy mountain is [the City’s] foundayion.
ADONAI
loves the gates of Tziyon more than all the dwellings in Ya’akov.
Glorious
things are said about you, City of GOD.
(Selah)
I count
Rahav and Bavel among those who know Me.
Of P’leshet,
Tzor and Ethiopia [they will say], ‘This one was born there.’
But of
Tziyon it will be said, ‘This one and that one was born in it, for The Most
High Himself establishes it.’
When he
registers the people, ADONAI will record, ‘This one was born there.’”
(Selah)”
Psalm 88:6-7-10-11-12
“You plunged me into the bottom of the pit, into dark places, into the depths.
Your wrath
lies heavily on me; Your waves crashing over me keep me down.
(Selah)
You
separated me from my close friends, made me repulsive to them; I am caged in
with no escape; my eyes grow dim from suffering.
I call on
You, ADONAI, every day; I spread out my hands to You.
Will You
perform wonders for the dead?
Can the
ghosts of the dead rise up and praise You?
(Selah)
Will Your
Grace be declared in the grave, or Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
Will Your
Wonders be know in the dark, or Your Righteousness in the land of oblivion?”
Psalm 89:1-4,
30-37, 38-45-46-48-52 “I will sing of ADONAI’s acts
of Grace forever, with my mouth proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations;
because I said, ‘Grace is built to last forever; in The Heavens themselves You
established Your Faithfulness.’
You said, ‘I
have made a Covenant with the one I chose.
I swore to
My servant David, “I will establish your dynasty forever, build up your throne
through all generations.”’
(Selah)
‘If his
descendants abandon My Torah and fail to live by My rulings, if they profane my
Regulations and don’t obey My Mitzvot, I will punish their disobedience with
the rod and their guilt with lashes.
But I won’t
withdraw My Grace from him or be false to My Faithfulness.
I will not
profane My Covenant or change what My lips have spoken.
I have sworn
by My Holiness once and for all; I will not lie to David – his dynasty will
last forever, his throne like the sun before Me.
It will be
established forever, like the moon, which remains a faithful witness in the
sky.
(Selah)
But you
spurned Your anointed one, rejected and vented Your rage on him.
You
renounced the Covenant with Your servant and defiled his crown in the dust.
You broke
through all his defenses and left his strongholds in ruins.
All who pass
by plunder him; he is an object of scorn to his neighbors.
You raised
up the right hand of his foes and made all his enemies rejoice.
You drive
back his drawn sword and fail to support him in battle.
You brought
an end to his splendor and hurled his throne to the ground.
You cut
short the days of his youth and covered him with shame.
(Selah)
How long ADONAI?
Will You
hide Yourself forever?
How long
will Your fury burn like fire?
Remember how
little time I have!
Was it for
no purpose that You created all humanity?
Who can live
and not see death?
Who can save
himself from the power of the grave?
(Selah)
Where, ADONAI,
are the acts of Grace that You once did, those which, in Your Faithfulness, You
swore to David?
Remember, ADONAI,
the taunts hurled at Your servants, which I carry in my [heart] from so many
peoples!
Your
enemies, ADONAI, have flung their taunts, flung them in the footsteps of
Your anointed one.
Blessed be ADONAI
forever.
Amen. Amen.”
Psalm 140:1-3-5-6-8-13
“Rescue me, ADONAI, from evil people, protect me from violent people.
They plan
evil things in their hearts – they continually stirrup bitter strife.
They have
made their tongues as sharps as a snake’s; viper’s venom is under their lips.
(Selah)
Keep me, ADONAI,
from the hands of the wicked, protect me from violent people who are tring to
trip me up.
The arrogant
hide snares for me; they spread nets by the sie of the road, hoping to trap me
there.
(Selah)
I said to ADONAI,
‘You are my GOD, listen, ADONAI, to my plea for mercy.’
ADONAI,
ADONAI, my saving strength, my helmet shielding my head in battle, ADONAI,
don’t grant the wicked their wishes; make their plot fail so they won’t grow
proud.
(Selah)
May the
heads of those who surround my be engulfed in the evil they spoke of,
themselves.
Mat burning
coals rain down on them, may they be flung into the fire, flung into deep pits,
never to rise again.
Let
slanderers find no place in the land; let the violent and evil be hunted
relentlessly.
I know that ADONAI
gives justice to the poor and maintains the rights of the needy.
The
righteous will surly give thanks to Your Name; the upright will live in Your
presence.”
Psalm 143:5-6
“I remember the days of old, reflecting on all Your deeds, thinking about the
work of Your hands.
I spread out
my hands to You, I long for You like a thirsty land.
(Selah)”
Habakkuk 3:1-3-4-9-13-15
“This is a prayer of Havakuk the prophet (on musical instruments called
shigyonot).
ADONAI,
I have heard the report about You.
ADONAI,
I am awed by Your deeds.
Bring Your
Work to life in our own age, make it known in our own time; but in anger, remember
compassion.
GOD comes
from Teman, The Holy One from Mount Pa’ran.
(Selah)
His splendor
covers the sky, and His praise fills the earth.
His brightness
is like the sun, rays come forth from His hand – that is where His Power is
concealed.
Before Him
goes pestilence, and close behind, the plague.
When He
stands up , the earth shakes; when He looks, the nations tremble, the eternal
mountains are smashed to pieces, the ancient hills sink down; the ancient paths
are His.
I saw
trouble in the tents of Kushan and the tent hangings shaking in the land of
Midyan.
ADONAI,
is it against the rivers, against the rivers that Your anger is inflamed?
Is Your fury
directed at the sea?
Is that why
You ride on Your horses, and drive Your chariots to victory?
You brandish
Your naked bow and order it filled with arrows.
(Selah)
You split
the earth with rivers.
The
mountains see You and tremble; a torrent of water steams by; the deep thunders
forth, as it raises enormous waves.
The sun and
moon stand still in the sky at the light of Your arrows speeding by, at the
gleam of Your glittering spear.
In fury You
stride across the land, in anger You trample the nations.
You come out
to save Your people, to save Your anointed one; You crush the head of the house
of the wicked, uncovering the foundation all the way to the neck.
3 (Selah)
With their
own rods You pierce the heads of their warriors, who come like a whirlwind to
scatter us, who rejoice at the prospect of devouring the poor in secret.
You tread
down the sea with Your horses, churning up the mighty waters.”
