Lord, I will give you honor. You brought me out of deep trouble. You didn’t give my enemies the joy of seeing me die.

耶和华啊，我要尊崇你，因为你曾提拔我，不叫仇敌向我夸耀。

耶和华啊，我要尊崇你，因为你救了我，不让仇敌向我夸耀。

I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.

I will exalt you, LORD, because you have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to triumph over me.

I will exalt You, Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me.

I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

I will exalt You, Lord, because You have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to triumph over me.

I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

I will praise you, O LORD, for you lifted me up, and did not allow my enemies to gloat over me.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

I trust in you. Don’t let me be put to shame. Don’t let my enemies win the battle over me.

Don’t let those who are my enemies without any reason laugh at me and make fun of me. Don’t let those who hate me without any reason wink at me with an evil purpose.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise and honor and glory to the King of heaven. Everything he does is right. All his ways are fair. He is able to bring down those who live proudly.

David returned home to bless his family. Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said,“ You are the king of Israel. You have really brought honor to yourself today, haven’t you? You have gone around half- naked right in front of the female slaves of your officials. You acted like a fool!”

David built an altar there to honor the Lord. He sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings. Then the Lord answered David’s prayer and blessed the land. The plague on Israel was stopped.

Save your people. Bless those who belong to you. Be their shepherd. Take care of them forever.

Then my enemies will say,“ We have beaten him.” They will be filled with joy when I die.

Hiram was king of Tyre. He sent messengers to David. He sent cedar logs along with them. He also sent skilled workers. They worked with wood and stone. They built a palace for David.

Why should the nations say,“ Where is their God?” Show the nations that you punish those who kill your people. We want to see it happen.

Lord, don’t give sinners what they want. Don’t let their plans succeed.

All those who pass by clap their hands and make fun of you. They laugh at you and shake their heads at the city of Jerusalem. They say,“ Could that be the city that was called perfect and beautiful? Is that the city that brought joy to everyone on earth?”

But Joab didn’t include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the total number. The king’s command was sickening to Joab.

Join me in giving glory to the Lord. Let us honor him together.I looked to the Lord, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of.

David returned to his palace in Jerusalem. He had left ten concubines there to take care of the palace. He put them in a house and kept them under guard. He gave them what they needed. But he didn’t sleep with them. They were kept under guard until the day they died. They lived as if they were widows.

I will honor you, my God the King. I will praise your name for ever and ever.

Then I will know that you are pleased with me, because my enemies haven’t won the battle over me.

Then I will win the battle over my enemies who are all around me. At his holy tent I will offer my sacrifice with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord.

All those who pass by have carried off what belonged to him. His neighbors make fun of him.You have made his enemies strong. You have made all of them happy.You have made his sword useless. You have not helped him in battle.You have put an end to his glory. You have knocked his throne to the ground.You have cut short the days of his life. You have covered him with shame.Lord, how long will you hide yourself? Will it be forever? How long will your anger burn like fire?

Then the king spoke to Nathan the prophet. He said,“ Here I am, living in a house that has beautiful cedar walls. But the ark of God remains in a tent.”

The officers will speak to the army. They will say,“ Has anyone built a new house and not started to live in it? Let him go home. If he doesn’t, he might die in battle. Then someone else will live in his house.

Lord my God, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. You always do what is right. Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.Don’t let them think,“ That’s exactly what we wanted!” Don’t let them say,“ We have swallowed him up.”

I cried out to him with my mouth. I praised him with my tongue.

We are something our neighbors joke about. The nations around us laugh at us and make fun of us.
