Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your mercy.
The dead do not praise the Lord, not all those go down into silence.
For the leader. A psalm of David.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me, delivered me from all my fears.
Put to shame and confound all who relish my misfortune. Clothe with shame and disgrace those who lord it over me.
Let those who seek my life be put to shame and disgrace. Let those who plot evil against me be turned back and confounded.
Many say, “May we see better times! Lord, show us the light of your face!” Selah
The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will receive my prayer.
Yes, my tongue shall recount your justice day by day. For those who sought my ruin have been shamed and disgraced.
O God, restore us; light up your face and we shall be saved.
O God of hosts, restore us; light up your face and we shall be saved.
If the Lord were not my help, I would long have been silent in the grave.
But the Lord is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not prevail. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; Some to everlasting life, others to reproach and everlasting disgrace.
He guards the footsteps of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall perish in the darkness; for not by strength does one prevail.
