    for you, Lord, are good.^(M)

⁸ Good and upright^(N) is the Lord;
    therefore he instructs^(O) sinners in his ways.

    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(S)

    the God of glory^(F) thunders,^(G)
    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.^(H)
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;^(I)
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

    Sirion^[b](L) like a young wild ox.^(M)
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
    with flashes of lightning.^(N)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;

    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(AL)
19 to deliver them from death^(AM)

    they fail to act wisely^(G) or do good.^(H)
4 Even on their beds they plot evil;^(I)
    they commit themselves to a sinful course^(J)
    and do not reject what is wrong.^(K)

¹² See how the evildoers lie fallen—
    thrown down, not able to rise!^(AC)

⁴ “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
    and the number of my days;^(I)
    let me know how fleeting^(J) my life is.^(K)
5 You have made my days^(L) a mere handbreadth;
    the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,^(M)
    even those who seem secure.^[b]

⁶ “Surely everyone goes around^(N) like a mere phantom;^(O)
    in vain they rush about,^(P) heaping up wealth^(Q)
    without knowing whose it will finally be.^(R)

⁷ “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
    My hope is in you.^(S)
8 Save me^(T) from all my transgressions;^(U)
    do not make me the scorn^(V) of fools.
⁹ I was silent;^(W) I would not open my mouth,^(X)
    for you are the one who has done this.^(Y)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
    I am overcome by the blow^(Z) of your hand.^(AA)
11 When you rebuke^(AB) and discipline^(AC) anyone for their sin,
    you consume^(AD) their wealth like a moth^(AE)—
    surely everyone is but a breath.^(AF)

¹² “Hear my prayer, Lord,
    listen to my cry for help;^(AG)
    do not be deaf^(AH) to my weeping.^(AI)
I dwell with you as a foreigner,^(AJ)
    a stranger,^(AK) as all my ancestors were.^(AL)
13 Look away from me, that I may enjoy life again
    before I depart and am no more.”^(AM)
