75:1 We give thanks to you, O God;
  we give thanks, for your name is near.
We recount your wondrous deeds.

“At the set time that I appoint
  I will judge with equity.
When the earth totters, and all its inhabitants,
  it is I who keep steady its pillars.     Selah
I say to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
  and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horn;
do not lift up your horn on high,
  or speak with haughty neck.’”

For not from the east or from the west
  and not from the wilderness comes lifting up,
but it is God who executes judgment,
  putting down one and lifting up another.
For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup
  with foaming wine, well mixed,
and he pours out from it,
  and all the wicked of the earth
  shall drain it down to the dregs.

But I will declare it forever;
  I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
All the horns of the wicked I will cut off,
  but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

76:1 In Judah God is known;
  his name is great in Israel.
His abode has been established in Salem,
  his dwelling place in Zion.
There he broke the flashing arrows,
  the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war.     Selah

Glorious are you, more majestic
  than the mountains of prey.
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
  they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
  were unable to use their hands.
At your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
  both rider and horse lay stunned.

But you, you are to be feared!
  Who can stand before you
  when once your anger is roused?
From the heavens you uttered judgment;
  the earth feared and was still,
when God arose to establish judgment,
  to save all the humble of the earth.     Selah

Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
  the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt.
Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them;
  let all around him bring gifts
  to him who is to be feared,
who cuts off the spirit of princes,
  who is to be feared by the kings of the earth.

23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
  He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
  for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
  I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
  your rod and your staff,
  they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
  in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
  my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
  all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
  forever.

27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
  whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
  of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers assail me
  to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes,
  it is they who stumble and fall.

Though an army encamp against me,
  my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
  yet I will be confident.

One thing have I asked of the LORD,
  that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
  all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
  and to inquire in his temple.

For he will hide me in his shelter
  in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
  he will lift me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up
  above my enemies all around me,
and I will offer in his tent
  sacrifices with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make melody to the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;
  be gracious to me and answer me!
You have said, “Seek my face.”
My heart says to you,
  “Your face, LORD, do I seek.”
  Hide not your face from me.
Turn not your servant away in anger,
  O you who have been my help.
Cast me not off; forsake me not,
  O God of my salvation!
For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
  but the LORD will take me in.

Teach me your way, O LORD,
  and lead me on a level path
  because of my enemies.
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
  for false witnesses have risen against me,
  and they breathe out violence.

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD
  in the land of the living!
Wait for the LORD;
  be strong, and let your heart take courage;
  wait for the LORD!

“The kings came, they fought;
  then fought the kings of Canaan,
at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
  they got no spoils of silver.
From heaven the stars fought,
  from their courses they fought against Sisera.
The torrent Kishon swept them away,
  the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
  March on, my soul, with might!

“Then loud beat the horses' hoofs
  with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.

“Curse Meroz, says the angel of the LORD,
  curse its inhabitants thoroughly,
because they did not come to the help of the LORD,
  to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

“Most blessed of women be Jael,
  the wife of Heber the Kenite,
  of tent-dwelling women most blessed.
He asked water and she gave him milk;
  she brought him curds in a noble's bowl.
She sent her hand to the tent peg
  and her right hand to the workmen's mallet;
she struck Sisera;
  she crushed his head;
  she shattered and pierced his temple.
Between her feet
  he sank, he fell, he lay still;
between her feet
  he sank, he fell;
where he sank,
  there he fell—dead.

“Out of the window she peered,
  the mother of Sisera wailed through the lattice:
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
  Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’
Her wisest princesses answer,
  indeed, she answers herself,
‘Have they not found and divided the spoil?—
  A womb or two for every man;
spoil of dyed materials for Sisera,
  spoil of dyed materials embroidered,
  two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?’

“So may all your enemies perish, O LORD!
  But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.”

“‘I saw the Lord always before me,
  for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken;
therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;
  my flesh also will dwell in hope.
For you will not abandon my soul to Hades,
  or let your Holy One see corruption.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
  you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’

“‘The Lord said to my Lord,
Sit at my right hand,
  until I make your enemies your footstool.’
