5[For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by the flute.] O LORD, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.H5329H5155H4210H1732H238H561H3068H995H1901 2Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.H7181H6963H7773H4428H430H6419 3Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.H6963H8085H1242H3068H1242H6186H6822 4O God, you take no pleasure in wickedness; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked.H410H2655H7562H7451H1481 5Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for you hate all who do evil.H1984H3320H5869H8130H6466H205 6You will destroy those who tell lies. The LORD detests murderers and deceivers.H6H1696H3577H3068H8581H1818H4820H376 7Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.H935H1004H7230H2617H3374H7812H6944H1964 8Lead me in the right path, O LORD, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.H5148H3068H6666H8324H1870H3474H6440 9My enemies cannot speak a truthful word. Their deepest desire is to destroy others. Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with flattery
.H3559H6310H7130H1942H1627H6605H6913H2505H3956 10O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.H816H430H5307H4156H5080H7230H6588H4784 11But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.H2620H8055H5769H7442H5526H157H8034H5970 12For you bless the godly, O LORD; you surround them with your shield of love.H3068H1288H6662H7522H5849H6793
38[A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.] O LORD, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage!H4210H1732H2142H3068H3198H7110H3256H2534 2Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me.H2671H5181H3027H5181 3Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins.H4974H1320H6440H2195H7965H6106H6440H2403 4My guilt overwhelms me—it is a burden too heavy to bear.H5771H5674H7218H3515H4853H3513 5My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.H2250H887H4743H6440H200 6I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief.H5753H7817H3966H1980H6937H3117 7A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken.H3689H4390H7033H4974H1320 8I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.H6313H3966H1794H7580H5100H3820 9You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh.H136H8378H585H5641 10My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind.H3820H5503H3581H5800H216H5869H1992H369 11My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease. Even my own family stands at a distance.H157H7453H5975H5048H5061H7138H5975H7350 12Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me. All day long they plan their treachery.H1245H5315H5367H1875H7451H1696H1942H1897H4820H3117 13But I am deaf to all their threats. I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.H2795H8085H483H6605H6310 14I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply.H376H8085H6310H8433 15For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.H3068H3176H6030H136H430 16I prayed, "Don't let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall."H559H8055H7272H4131H1431 17I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain.H3559H6761H4341H8548 18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.H5046H5771H1672H2403 19I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason.H341H2416H6105H8130H8267H7231 20They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good.H7999H7451H2896H7853H7291H2896 21Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God.H5800H3068H430H7368 22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.H2363H5833H136H8668
41[For the choir director: A psalm of David.] Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.H5329H4210H1732H835H7919H1800H3068H4422H3117H7451 2The LORD protects them and keeps them alive. He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies.H3068H8104H2421H833H776H5414H5315H341 3The LORD nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health.H3068H5582H6210H1741H2015H4904H2483 4"O LORD," I prayed, "have mercy on me. Heal me, for I have sinned against you."H559H3068H2603H7495H5315H2398 5But my enemies say nothing but evil about me. "How soon will he die and be forgotten?" they ask.H341H559H7451H4191H8034H6 6They visit me as if they were my friends, but all the while they gather gossip, and when they leave, they spread it everywhere.H935H7200H1696H7723H3820H6908H205H3318H2351H1696 7All who hate me whisper about me, imagining the worst.H8130H3907H3162H2803H7451 8"He has some fatal disease," they say. "He will never get out of that bed!"H1100H1697H3332H7901H6965H3254 9Even my best friend, the one I trusted completely, the one who shared my food, has turned against me.H7965H376H982H398H3899H1431H6119 10LORD, have mercy on me. Make me well again, so I can pay them back!H3068H2603H6965H7999 11I know you are pleased with me, for you have not let my enemies triumph over me.H3045H2654H341H7321 12You have preserved my life because I am innocent; you have brought me into your presence forever.H8551H8537H5324H6440H5769 13Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and amen!H1288H3068H430H3478H5769H5769H543H543
42[For the choir director: A psalm of the descendants of Korah.] As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.H5329H4905H1121H7141H354H6165H4325H650H6165H5315H430 2I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him?H5315H6770H430H2416H410H935H7200H6440H430 3Day and night I have only tears for food, while my enemies continually taunt me, saying, "Where is this God of yours?"H1832H3899H3119H3915H3117H559H430 4My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be. I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!H2142H8210H5315H5674H5519H1718H1004H430H6963H7440H8426H1995H2287 5Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior andH7817H5315H1993H3176H430H3034H3444H6440 6my God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you—even from distant Mount Hermon, the source of the Jordan, from the land of Mount Mizar.H430H5315H7817H2142H776H3383H2769H2022H4706 7I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and surging tides sweep over me.H8415H7121H8415H6963H6794H4867H1530H5674 8But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.H3068H6680H2617H3119H3915H7892H8605H410H2416 9"O God my rock," I cry, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies?"H559H410H5553H7911H3212H6937H3906H341 10Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, "Where is this God of yours?"H7524H6106H6887H2778H559H3117H430 11Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again—my Savior and my God!H7817H5315H1993H3176H430H3034H3444H6440H430
