² From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;^(C)
lead me to the rock^(D) that is higher than I.
³ For you have been my refuge,^(E)
a strong tower against the foe.^(F)

⁴ I long to dwell^(G) in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.^[b](H)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows;^(I)
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.^(J)

⁶ Increase the days of the king’s life,^(K)
his years for many generations.^(L)
7 May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever;^(M)
appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him.^(N)

⁸ Then I will ever sing in praise of your name^(O)
and fulfill my vows day after day.^(P)

³ How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall,^(W) this tottering fence?
⁴ Surely they intend to topple me
from my lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.^[d](X)

⁵ Yes, my soul, find rest in God;^(Y)
my hope comes from him.
⁶ Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
⁷ My salvation and my honor depend on God^[e];
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.^(Z)
8 Trust in him at all times, you people;^(AA)
pour out your hearts to him,^(AB)
for God is our refuge.

⁹ Surely the lowborn^(AC) are but a breath,^(AD)
the highborn are but a lie.
If weighed on a balance,^(AE) they are nothing;
together they are only a breath.
¹⁰ Do not trust in extortion^(AF)
or put vain hope in stolen goods;^(AG)
though your riches increase,
do not set your heart on them.^(AH)

¹¹ One thing God has spoken,
two things I have heard:
“Power belongs to you, God,^(AI)
12 and with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;^(AJ)
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”^(AK)

⁴ Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,^(H)
extol him who rides on the clouds^[b](I);
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.^(J)
5 A father to the fatherless,^(K) a defender of widows,^(L)
is God in his holy dwelling.^(M)
6 God sets the lonely^(N) in families,^[c](O)
he leads out the prisoners^(P) with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.^(Q)

⁷ When you, God, went out^(R) before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,^[d](S)
8 the earth shook,^(T) the heavens poured down rain,^(U)
before God, the One of Sinai,^(V)
before God, the God of Israel.^(W)
9 You gave abundant showers,^(X) O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
¹⁰ Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty,^(Y) God, you provided^(Z) for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:^(AA)
12 “Kings and armies flee^(AB) in haste;
the women at home divide the plunder.^(AC)
13 Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,^[e](AD)
the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold.”
¹⁴ When the Almighty^[f] scattered^(AE) the kings in the land,
it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.^(AF)

¹⁵ Mount Bashan,^(AG) majestic mountain,^(AH)
Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,
¹⁶ why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,
at the mountain where God chooses^(AI) to reign,
where the Lord himself will dwell forever?^(AJ)
17 The chariots^(AK) of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;^(AL)
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.^[g]
18 When you ascended^(AM) on high,^(AN)
you took many captives;^(AO)
you received gifts from people,^(AP)
even from^[h] the rebellious^(AQ)—
that you,^[i] Lord God, might dwell there.

¹⁹ Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,^(AR)
who daily bears our burdens.^(AS)
20 Our God is a God who saves;^(AT)
from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.^(AU)
21 Surely God will crush the heads^(AV) of his enemies,
the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.
²² The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;
I will bring them from the depths of the sea,^(AW)
23 that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,^(AX)
while the tongues of your dogs^(AY) have their share.”

²⁴ Your procession, God, has come into view,
the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.^(AZ)
25 In front are the singers,^(BA) after them the musicians;^(BB)
with them are the young women playing the timbrels.^(BC)
26 Praise God in the great congregation;^(BD)
praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.^(BE)
27 There is the little tribe^(BF) of Benjamin,^(BG) leading them,
there the great throng of Judah’s princes,
and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.^(BH)

²⁸ Summon your power,^(BI) God^[j];
show us your strength,^(BJ) our God, as you have done^(BK) before.
²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings will bring you gifts.^(BL)
30 Rebuke the beast^(BM) among the reeds,^(BN)
the herd of bulls^(BO) among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations^(BP) who delight in war.^(BQ)
31 Envoys will come from Egypt;^(BR)
Cush^[k](BS) will submit herself to God.

³² Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,^(BT)
sing praise^(BU) to the Lord,
³³ to him who rides^(BV) across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,
who thunders^(BW) with mighty voice.^(BX)
34 Proclaim the power^(BY) of God,
whose majesty^(BZ) is over Israel,
whose power is in the heavens.
³⁵ You, God, are awesome^(CA) in your sanctuary;^(CB)
the God of Israel gives power and strength^(CC) to his people.^(CD)

Praise be to God!^(CE)

“‘Our Father^(D) in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
¹⁰ your kingdom^(E) come,
your will be done,^(F)
on earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.^(G)
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.^(H)
13 And lead us not into temptation,^[a](I)
but deliver us from the evil one.^[b]’^(J)
