New American Standard Bible The Reign of the LORD’S Anointed.
[vs 1] Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?
And the peoples devising a vain thing?
[vs 2]The kings of the earth take their stand
And cast away their cords from us!”
[vs 4] He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
[vs 5] Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
[vs 6] “But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
[vs 7] “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
[vs 8] ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
[vs 9] ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron,
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
[vs 11] Worship the LORD with reverence
And rejoice with trembling.
[vs 12] Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Your (P)blessing [k]be upon Your people! Selah.

You have [c](C)relieved me in my distress;
Be (D)gracious to me and (E)hear my prayer.
[vs 2] O sons of men, how long will (F)my [d]honor become (G)a reproach?
How long will you love (H)what is worthless and aim at (I)deception? [e]Selah.

Save me from all those who pursue me, and (B)deliver me,
[vs 2] Or he will tear [c]my soul (C)like a lion,
[d]Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.
[vs 3] O LORD my God, if I have done this,
If there is (D)injustice in my hands,

And let him trample my life down to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. [i]Selah.

[vs 15] He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has (Z)fallen into the hole which he made.
[vs 16] His (AA)mischief will return upon his own head,

And the son of man that You care for him?
[vs 5] Yet You have made him a (AM)little lower than [x]God,
And (AN)You crown him with (AO)glory and majesty!

You have (AQ)put all things under his feet,

And also the [y]beasts of the field,

Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

He has established His (BE)throne for judgment,
[vs 8] And He will (BF)judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.

[vs 13] Be gracious to me, O LORD;
See my affliction from those (BN)who hate me,
You who (BO)lift me up from the gates of death,
[vs 14] That I may tell of (BP)all Your praises,

Psalm 10 [nasb]
Delete[vs 1] Why (CD)do You stand afar off, O LORD?
Why (CE)do You hide [an]Yourself in times of trouble?
[vs 2] In (CF)pride the wicked [ao]hotly pursue the afflicted;
[ap]Let them be (CG)caught in the plots which they have devised.
[vs 3] For the wicked (CH)boasts of his (CI)heart’s desire,
And [aq]the greedy man curses and (CJ)spurns the LORD.
[vs 4] The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, (CK)does not seek Him.
All his [ar]thoughts are, “(CL)There is no God.”
[vs 5] His ways [as](CM)prosper at all times;
Your judgments are on high, (CN)out of his sight;
As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
[vs 6] He says to himself, “(CO)I will not be moved;
[at]Throughout all generations (CP)I will not be in adversity.”
[vs 7] His (CQ)mouth is full of curses and deceit and (CR)oppression;
(CS)Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
[vs 8] He sits in the (CT)lurking places of the villages;
In the hiding places he (CU)kills the innocent;
His eyes [au]stealthily watch for the [av](CV)unfortunate.
[vs 9] He lurks in a hiding place as (CW)a lion in his [aw]lair;
He (CX)lurks to catch (CY)the afflicted;
He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his (CZ)net.
[vs 10] He [ax]crouches, he [ay]bows down,
And the [az]unfortunate fall [ba]by his mighty ones.
[vs 11] He (DA)says to himself, “God has forgotten;
He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
[vs 12] Arise, O LORD; O God, (DB)lift up Your hand.
(DC)Do not forget the afflicted.
[vs 13] Why has the wicked (DD)spurned God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”
[vs 14] You have seen it, for You have beheld (DE)mischief
and vexation to [bb]take it into Your hand.
The [bc](DF)unfortunate commits himself to You;
You have been the (DG)helper of the orphan.
[vs 15] (DH)Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
[bd](DI)Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
[vs 16] The LORD is (DJ)King forever and ever;
(DK)Nations have perished from His land.
[vs 17] O LORD, You have heard the (DL)desire of the [be]humble;
You will (DM)strengthen their heart, (DN)You will incline Your ear
[vs 18] To [bf]vindicate the (DO)orphan and the (DP)oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause (DQ)terror.

What can the righteous do?”
[vs 4] The LORD is in His (DX)holy temple; the [bh]LORD’s (DY)throne is in heaven;
His (DZ)eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
[vs 5] The LORD (EA)tests the righteous and (EB)the wicked,
And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
[vs 6] Upon the wicked He will (EC)rain [bi]snares;
(ED)Fire and brimstone and (EE)burning wind will be the portion of (EF)their cup.
[vs 7] For the LORD is (EG)righteous, (EH)He loves [bj]righteousness;
The upright will (EI)behold His face.

Psalm 12 [nasb]
Delete[vs 1] Help, LORD, for (EJ)the godly man ceases to be,
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
[vs 2] They (EK)speak [bl]falsehood to one another;
With (EL)flattering [bm]lips and with a double heart they speak.
[vs 3] May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that (EM)speaks great things;
[vs 4] Who (EN)have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are [bn]our own; who is LORD over us?”
[vs 5] “Because of the (EO)devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now (EP)I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will (EQ)set him in the safety for which he longs.”
[vs 6] The (ER)words of the LORD are pure words;

[vs 5] There they are in great dread,
For God is with the (FT)righteous generation.
[vs 6] You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the LORD is his (FU)refuge.
[vs 7] Oh, that (FV)the salvation of Israel [br]would come out of Zion!
When the LORD [bs](FW)restores His captive people,
Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be glad.
Description of a Citizen of Zion.
A Psalm of David.
Psalm 15 [nasb]
Delete[vs 1] O LORD, who may [bt]abide (FX)in Your tent?
Who may dwell on Your (FY)holy hill?
[vs 2] He who (FZ)walks with integrity, and works righteousness,
And (GA)speaks truth in his heart.
[vs 3] He (GB)does not slander [bu]with his tongue,
Nor (GC)does evil to his neighbor,
Nor (GD)takes up a reproach against his friend;
[vs 4] In [bv]whose eyes a reprobate is despised,
But [bw]who (GE)honors those who fear the LORD;
He (GF)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
[vs 5] He (GG)does not put out his money [bx]at interest,
Nor (GH)does he take a bribe against the innocent.
(GI)He who does these things will never be shaken.
The LORD the Psalmist’s Portion in Life and Deliverer in Death.
A [by]Mikhtam of David.
Psalm 16 [nasb]
Delete[vs 1] (GJ)Preserve me, O God, for (GK)I take refuge in You.
[vs 2] [bz]I said to the LORD, “You are [ca]my LORD;
I (GL)have no good besides You.”
[vs 3] As for the [cb](GM)saints who are in the earth,
[cc]They are the majestic ones (GN)in whom is all my delight.
[vs 4] The [cd](GO)sorrows of those who have [ce]bartered for another god will be multiplied;
I shall not pour out their drink offerings of (GP)blood,
Nor will I (GQ)take their names upon my lips.
[vs 5] The LORD is the (GR)portion of my inheritance and my (GS)cup;
You support my (GT)lot.
[vs 6] The (GU)lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Indeed, my heritage is (GV)beautiful to me.
[vs 7] I will bless the LORD who has (GW)counseled me;
Indeed, my [cf](GX)mind instructs me in the night.
[vs 8] (GY)I have (GZ)set the LORD continually before me;
Because He is (HA)at my right hand, (HB)I will not be shaken.
[vs 9] Therefore (HC)my heart is glad and (HD)my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will (HE)dwell securely.
[vs 10] For You (HF)will not abandon my soul to [cg]Sheol;
Nor will You [ch](HG)allow Your [ci]Holy One to [cj]undergo decay.
[vs 11] You will make known to me (HH)the path of life;
In (HI)Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are (HJ)pleasures forever.
