107Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.H3034H3068H2896H2617H5769 2Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.H1350H3068H559H1350H3027H6862 3For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.H6908H776H4217H4628H6828H3220 4Some wandered in the wilderness, lost and homeless.H8582H4057H3452H1870H4672H5892H4186 5Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died.H7457H6771H5315H5848 6“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress.H6817H3068H6862H5337H4691 7He led them straight to safety, to a city where they could live.H1869H3477H1870H3212H5892H4186 8Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H120 9For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.H7646H8264H5315H4390H7457H5315H2896 10Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom, imprisoned in iron chains of misery.H3427H2822H6757H615H6040H1270 11They rebelled against the words of God, scorning the counsel of the Most High.H4784H561H410H5006H6098H5945 12That is why he broke them with hard labor; they fell, and no one was there to help them.H3665H3820H5999H3782H5826 13“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.H2199H3068H6862H3467H4691 14He led them from the darkness and deepest gloom; he snapped their chains.H3318H2822H6757H5423H4147H5423 15Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H120 16For he broke down their prison gates of bronze; he cut apart their bars of iron.H7665H1817H5178H1438H1280H1270H1438 17Some were fools; they rebelled and suffered for their sins.H191H1870H6588H5771H6031 18They couldn’t stand the thought of food, and they were knocking on death’s door.H5315H8581H400H5060H8179H4194 19“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.H2199H3068H6862H3467H4691 20He sent out his word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.H7971H1697H7495H4422H7825 21Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H120 22Let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving and sing joyfully about his glorious acts.H2076H2077H8426H5608H4639H7440 23Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.H3381H3220H591H6213H4399H7227H4325 24They, too, observed the Lord’s power in action, his impressive works on the deepest seas.H7200H4639H3068H6381H4688 25He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.H559H5975H5591H7307H7311H1530 26Their ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror.H5927H8064H3381H8415H5315H4127H7451 27They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.H2287H5128H7910H2451H1104 28“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.H6817H3068H6862H3318H4691 29He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.H6965H5591H1827H1530H2814 30What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!H8055H8367H5148H2656H4231 31Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.H3034H3068H2617H6381H1121H120 32Let them exalt him publicly before the congregation and before the leaders of the nation.H7311H6951H5971H1984H4186H2205 33He changes rivers into deserts, and springs of water into dry, thirsty land.H7760H5104H4057H4325H4161H6774 34He turns the fruitful land into salty wastelands, because of the wickedness of those who live there.H6529H776H4420H7451H3427 35But he also turns deserts into pools of water, the dry land into springs of water.H7760H4057H98H4325H6723H776H4325H4161 36He brings the hungry to settle there and to build their cities.H7457H3427H3559H5892H4186 37They sow their fields, plant their vineyards, and harvest their bumper crops.H2232H7704H5193H3754H6213H6529H8393 38How he blesses them! They raise large families there, and their herds of livestock increase.H1288H7235H3966H4591H929H4591 39When they decrease in number and become impoverished through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,H4591H7817H6115H7451H3015 40the Lord pours contempt on their princes, causing them to wander in trackless wastelands.H8210H937H5081H8582H8414H1870 41But he rescues the poor from trouble and increases their families like flocks of sheep.H34H7682H6040H7760H4940H6629 42The godly will see these things and be glad, while the wicked are struck silent.H3477H7200H8055H5766H7092H6310 43Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.H2450H8104H995H2617H3068

109[For the choir director: A psalm of David.] O God, whom I praise, don’t stand silent and aloofH5329H4210H1732H2790H430H8416 2while the wicked slander me and tell lies about me.H6310H7563H6310H4820H6605H1696H8267H3956 3They surround me with hateful words and fight against me for no reason.H5437H1697H8135H3898H2600 4I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations even as I am praying for them!H160H7853H8605 5They repay evil for good, and hatred for my love.H7760H7451H2896H8135H160 6They say, “Get an evil person to turn against him. Send an accuser to bring him to trial.H6485H7563H7854H5975H3225 7When his case comes up for judgment, let him be pronounced guilty. Count his prayers as sins.H8199H3318H7563H8605H2401 8Let his years be few; let someone else take his position.H3117H4592H312H3947H6486 9May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.H1121H3490H802H490 10May his children wander as beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.H1121H5128H5128H7592H1875H2723 11May creditors seize his entire estate, and strangers take all he has earned.H5383H5367H2114H962H3018 12Let no one be kind to him; let no one pity his fatherless children.H4900H2617H2603H3490 13May all his offspring die. May his family name be blotted out in a single generation.H319H3772H1755H312H8034H4229 14May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers; may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.H5771H1H2142H3068H2403H517H4229 15May the Lord always remember these sins, and may his name disappear from human memory.H3068H8548H3772H2143H776 16For he refused all kindness to others; he persecuted the poor and needy, and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.H2142H6213H2617H7291H6041H34H376H4191H3512H3824 17He loved to curse others; now you curse him. He never blessed others; now don’t you bless him.H157H7045H935H2654H1293H7368 18Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing, or the water he drinks, or the rich food he eats.H3847H7045H4055H935H7130H4325H8081H6106 19Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing; may they be tied around him like a belt.”H899H5844H4206H2296H8548 20May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me.H6468H7853H3068H1696H7451H5315 21But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord, for the sake of your own reputation! Rescue me because you are so faithful and good.H6213H3069H136H8034H2617H2896H5337 22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is full of pain.H6041H34H3820H2490H7130 23I am fading like a shadow at dusk; I am brushed off like a locust.H1980H6738H5186H5287H697 24My knees are weak from fasting, and I am skin and bones.H1290H3782H6685H1320H3584H8081 25I am a joke to people everywhere; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.H2781H7200H5128H7218 26Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love.H5826H3068H430H3467H2617 27Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, Lord.H3045H3027H3068H6213 28Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me! When they attack me, they will be disgraced! But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!H7043H1288H6965H954H5650H8055 29May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.H7853H3847H3639H5844H1322H4598 30But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone.H3966H3034H3068H6310H1984H8432H7227 31For he stands beside the needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them.H5975H3225H34H3467H8199H5315

You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.H5971H5071H3117H2428H1926H6944H7358H4891H2919H3208 4The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow. “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”H3068H7650H5162H3548H5769H1700H4442 5The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you. He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.H136H3225H4272H4428H3117H639 6He will punish the nations and fill their lands with corpses; he will shatter heads over the whole earth.H1777H1471H4390H1472H4272H7218H7227H776 7But he himself will be refreshed from brooks along the way.
