But you have rejected us and shamed us. You don't march with our armies anymore.

All these things have happened to us, but we have not forgotten you or failed to keep our agreement with you.

But you crushed us in this place where wild dogs live, and you covered us with deep darkness.

But for you we are in danger of death all the time. People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed.

But when they saw it, they were amazed. They ran away in fear.

But God will save my life and will take me from the grave. Selah

But I do not need bulls from your stalls or goats from your pens,

But God says to the wicked, "Why do you talk about my laws? Why do you mention my agreement?

I have kept quiet while you did these things, so you thought I was just like you. But I will scold you and accuse you to your face.

But God will ruin you forever. He will grab you and throw you out of your tent; he will tear you away from the land of the living. Selah

"Look what happened to the man who did not depend on God but depended on his money. He grew strong by his evil plans."

But I am like an olive tree growing in God's Temple. I trust God's love forever and ever.

But all have turned away. Together, everyone has become evil; none of them does anything good. Not a single person.

But it is you, a person like me, my companion and good friend.

But I will call to God for help, and the Lord will save me.

Morning, noon, and night I am troubled and upset, but he will listen to me.

Many are against me, but he keeps me safe in battle.

God who lives forever will hear me and punish them. Selah But they will not change; they do not fear God.

His words are slippery like butter, but war is in his heart. His words are smoother than oil, but they cut like knives.

But, God, you will bring down the wicked to the grave. Murderers and liars will live only half a lifetime. But I will trust in you.
