Because of you, our God, the king will celebrate with your faithful followers, but liars will be silent.

But God will shoot his arrows and quickly wound them.

Our terrible sins get us down, but you forgive us.

You sent war chariots to crush our skulls. We traveled through fire and through floods, but you brought us to a land of plenty.

But God did listen and answered my prayer.

But let your people be happy and celebrate because of you.

You find families for those who are lonely. You set prisoners free and let them prosper, but all who rebel will live in a scorching desert.

When you climbed the high mountain, you took prisoners with you and were given gifts. Your enemies didn't want you to live there, but they gave you gifts.

Our Lord and our God, your terrible enemies are ready for war, but you will crush their skulls.

I cried and went without food, but they still insulted me.

But I pray to you, Lord . So when the time is right, answer me and help me with your wonderful love.

Don't let me sink in the mud, but save me from my enemies and from the deep water.

I am crushed by insults, and I feel sick. I had hoped for mercy and pity, but there was none.

I am poor and needy, but you, the Lord God, care about me. You are the one who saves me. Please hurry and help!

Many people think of me as something evil. But you are my mighty protector,

All day long I will tell the wonderful things you do to save your people. But you have done much more than I could possibly know.

You made me suffer a lot, but you will bring me back from this deep pit and give me new life.

But I almost stumbled and fell,

But I never really left you, and you hold my right hand.

My body and mind may fail, but you are my strength and my choice forever.
