Love the LORD, all his faithful people. The LORD protects the faithful, but punishes the proud as they deserve.

Babylon, you will be destroyed. Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us---

Alexander the metalworker did me great harm; the Lord will reward him according to what he has done.

Treat her exactly as she has treated you; pay her back double for all she has done. Fill her cup with a drink twice as strong as the drink she prepared for you.

LORD, I have so many enemies! Lead me to do your will; make your way plain for me to follow.

Teach me, LORD, what you want me to do, and lead me along a safe path, because I have many enemies.

Lord, where are the former proofs of your love? Where are the promises you made to David?

LORD, hear my prayer! In your righteousness listen to my plea; answer me in your faithfulness!

Because of your love for me, kill my enemies and destroy all my oppressors, for I am your servant.
