many are saying of my soul, “There is no salvation for him in God.” Selah
and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;
Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
“He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, laying him bare from thigh to neck. Selah
You stripped the sheath from your bow, calling for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah
I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
And Shimei said as he cursed, “Get out, get out, you man of blood, you worthless man! The Lord has avenged on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.”
