1 They have treated me badly all my life. (Let Israel repeat this.)

2 They have treated me badly all my life, but they have not defeated me.

3 Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back, making long wounds.

4 But the Lord does what is right; he has set me free from those wicked people.

5 Let those who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shame.

6 Let them be like the grass on the roof that dries up before it has grown.

7 There is not enough of it to fill a hand or to make into a bundle to fill one's arms.

8 Let those who pass by them not say, "May the Lord bless you. We bless you by the power of the Lord." A song for going up to worship.

1 Lord, I am in great trouble, so I call out to you.

2 Lord, hear my voice; listen to my prayer for help.

3 Lord, if you punished people for all their sins, no one would be left, Lord.

4 But you forgive us, so you are respected.

5 I wait for the Lord to help me, and I trust his word.

6 I wait for the Lord to help me more than night watchmen wait for the dawn, more than night watchmen wait for the dawn.

7 People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord because he is loving and able to save.

8 He will save Israel from all their sins. A song for going up to worship. Of David.

1 Lord, my heart is not proud; I don't look down on others. I don't do great things, and I can't do miracles.

2 But I am calm and quiet, like a baby with its mother. I am at peace, like a baby with its mother.

3 People of Israel, put your hope in the Lord now and forever. A song for going up to worship.
