1Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
1By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
2The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
3For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I <FI>am<Fi> .'
4The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
4They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
5He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
6O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
6Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
7Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
7For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
8O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the cover of thy wings.
8Meet him doth desolation--he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
9They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
9And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
10For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
12Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
13There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
13And I--in their sickness my clothing <FI>is<Fi> sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
14(not in this translation)
14As <FI>if<Fi> a friend, as <FI>if<Fi> my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
15(not in this translation)
15And--in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
17(not in this translation)
17Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
19(not in this translation)
19Mine enemies rejoice not over me <FI>with<Fi> falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
20(not in this translation)
20For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
21(not in this translation)
21And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
24(not in this translation)
24Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
25(not in this translation)
25They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do not say, `We swallowed him up.'
26(not in this translation)
26They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
