Psalm 109:1

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

I praise you, God! Don't keep silent.

See the chapter Copy

Only you, Lord, are a mighty rock! Don't refuse to help me when I pray. If you don't answer me, I will soon be dead.

Our God, don't just sit there, silently doing nothing!

Offer your praises to him, because you have seen him work such terrifying miracles for you.

You, Lord, are the one I praise. So heal me and rescue me! Then I will be completely well and perfectly safe.

The Lord is my strength, the reason for my song, because he has saved me. I praise and honor the Lord— he is my God and the God of my ancestors.

For a long time, I, the Lord, have held my temper; now I will cry out and groan like a woman giving birth.

The Lord is my God! I will praise him and tell him how thankful I am.

Your hateful enemies are turning against you and rebelling.
