Psalm 35
1 Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise- may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
10 My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD ? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."
11 Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly circle of maliciously mockers; they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 O Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my life from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you.
19 Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
20 They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it."
22 O LORD, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord.
23 Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.
25 Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!" or say, "We have swallowed him up."
26 May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, "The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant."
28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.

Psalm 44
44:1 We have heard with our ears, God;
our fathers have told us,
what work you did in their days,
in the days of old.
44:2 You drove out the nations with your hand,
but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
but you spread them abroad.
44:3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face,
because you were favorable to them.
44:4 You are my King, God.
Command victories for Jacob!
44:5 Through you, will we push down our adversaries.
Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.
44:6 For I will not trust in my bow,
neither shall my sword save me.
44:7 But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
44:8 In God we have made our boast all day long,
we will give thanks to your name forever.
Selah.
44:9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor,
and don’t go out with our armies.
44:10 You make us turn back from the adversary.
Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
44:11 You have made us like sheep for food,
and have scattered us among the nations.
44:12 You sell your people for nothing,
and have gained nothing from their sale.
44:13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
44:14 You make us a byword among the nations,
a shaking of the head among the peoples.
44:15 All day long my dishonor is before me,
and shame covers my face,
44:16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,
because of the enemy and the avenger.
44:17 All this has come on us,
yet have we not forgotten you,
Neither have we been false to your covenant.
44:18 Our heart has not turned back,
neither have our steps strayed from your path,
44:19 Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,
and covered us with the shadow of death.
44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,
or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
44:21 won’t God search this out?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.
44:22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long.
We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.
44:23 Wake up!
Why do you sleep, Lord?
Arise!
Don’t reject us forever.
44:24 Why do you hide your face,
and forget our affliction and our oppression?
44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust.
Our body clings to the earth.
44:26 Rise up to help us.
Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heaven!
2 Praise him for his mighty works;
praise his unequaled greatness!
3 Praise him with a blast of the ram's horn;
praise him with the lyre and harp!
4 Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;
praise him with strings and flutes!
5 Praise him with a clash of cymbals;
praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
6 Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 142
A psalm of David, regarding his experience in the cave. A prayer.
1 I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord's mercy.
2 I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles.
3 When I am overwhelmed, you alone know the way I should turn.
Wherever I go, my enemies have set traps for me.
4 I look for someone to come and help me,
but no one gives me a passing thought!
No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me.
5 Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say,
"You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life.
6 Hear my cry, for I am very low.
Rescue me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.
7 Bring me out of prison so I can thank you.
The godly will crowd around me, for you are good to me."

Psalm 80
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph.
80:1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
80:3 Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
80:4 Yahweh God of Armies, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
80:6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
80:9 You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
80:11 It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.
80:12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
80:13 The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
80:14 Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
80:15 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
80:16 It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
80:17 Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
80:18 So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
80:19 Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Psalm 70
For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.
70:1 Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.
70:2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.
Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
70:3 Let them be turned because of their shame Who say, “Aha! Aha!”
70:4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
70:5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God.
You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.

Psalm 58
For the director of music. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy."
Of David. A miktam .
1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?
Do you judge uprightly among men?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
3 Even from birth the wicked go astray;
from the womb they are wayward and speak lies.
4 Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,
5 that will not heed the tune of the charmer,
however skillful the enchanter may be.
6 Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;
tear out, O LORD, the fangs of the lions!
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away;
when they draw the bow, let their arrows be blunted.
8 Like a slug melting away as it moves along,
like a stillborn child, may they not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns-
whether they be green or dry-the wicked will be swept away.
10 The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,
when they bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Then men will say,
"Surely the righteous still are rewarded;
surely there is a God who judges the earth."

Psalm 71
71:1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
71:3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
71:4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
~
71:5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth.
71:6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
71:7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
71:8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.
~
71:9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
71:10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
71:11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
71:12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
~
71:13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
71:14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
71:15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
71:16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
~
71:17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
71:18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
71:19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?
71:20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
~
71:21 Increase my honor, and comfort me again.
71:22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
71:23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
71:24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

Psalm 60
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.”
A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.
60:1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down.
You have been angry. Restore us, again.
60:2 You have made the land tremble.
You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.
60:3 You have shown your people hard things.
You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.
60:4 You have given a banner to those who fear you,
that it may be displayed because of the truth.
Selah.
60:5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.
60:6 God has spoken from his sanctuary:
“I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
60:8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom.
I shout in triumph over Philistia.”
60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city?
Who has led me to Edom?
60:10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us?
You don’t go out with our armies, God.
60:11 Give us help against the adversary,
for the help of man is vain.
60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly,
for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.
