¹ My shield and my defense depend on God, Who saves the upright in heart.

² God is a righteous judge, And a God who is indignant every day.

³ If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.

⁴ He has also prepared [other] deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts [aimed at the unrepentant].

⁵ Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin, And he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies.

⁶ He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the [very] pit which he made [as a trap].

⁷ His mischief will return on his own head, And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

⁸ I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness and justice, And I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

⁹ To the Chief Musician; set to[1] a Philistine lute [or perhaps to a particular Hittite tune]. A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth! You have displayed Your splendor above the heavens.

¹⁰ Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babes You have established strength Because of Your adversaries, That You might silence the enemy and make the revengeful cease.

¹¹ When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have established,

¹² What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?

¹³ Yet You have made him a little lower than[2] God, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

¹⁴ You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,

¹⁵ All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,

¹⁶ The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

¹⁷ O LORD, our Lord, How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

¹⁸ To the Chief Musician; on[1] Muth-labben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks and praise the LORD, with all my heart; I will tell aloud all Your wonders and marvelous deeds.

¹⁹ I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

²⁰ When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.

²¹ For You have maintained my right and my cause; You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
