All who see me make fun of me; they stick out their tongues and shake their heads.

Day and night I cry, and tears are my only food; all the time my enemies ask me, "Where is your God?"

I am crushed by their insults, as they keep on asking me, "Where is your God?"

They say, "God has abandoned him; let's go after him and catch him; there is no one to rescue him."

Shimei cursed him and said, "Get out! Get out! Murderer! Criminal!

You took Saul's kingdom, and now the LORD is punishing you for murdering so many of Saul's family. The LORD has given the kingdom to your son Absalom, and you are ruined, you murderer!"

"He saved others, but he cannot save himself ! Isn't he the king of Israel? If he will come down off the cross now, we will believe in him!

He trusts in God and claims to be God's Son. Well, then, let us see if God wants to save him now!"

I call to the LORD for help, and from his sacred hill he answers me.

Victory comes from the LORD --- may he bless his people.

How long will you people insult me? How long will you love what is worthless and go after what is false?

Tremble with fear and stop sinning; think deeply about this, when you lie in silence on your beds.

God is coming again from Edom; the holy God is coming from the hills of Paran. His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.

You got ready to use your bow, ready to shoot your arrows. Your lightning split open the earth.

You went out to save your people, to save your chosen king. You struck down the leader of the wicked and completely destroyed his followers.
