1To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
1To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
2Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3For my rock and my bulwark <FI>art<Fi> Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
3Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou <FI>art<Fi> my strength.
4For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
5I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against my self my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
6For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
7Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
8I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress <FI>is<Fi> to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
9Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
10Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without--fled from me.
11Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
12I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

13For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear <FI>is<Fi> round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
13(not in this translation)
14And I on Thee--I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou <FI>art<Fi> my God.'
14(not in this translation)
15In Thy hand <FI>are<Fi> my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
15(not in this translation)
17O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.
17(not in this translation)
18Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
18(not in this translation)
19How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
19(not in this translation)
20Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.
20(not in this translation)
21Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
21(not in this translation)
22And I--I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.
