To you, O Yahweh, I call. O my rock, do not be deaf to me. Or else, if you are silent to me, then I will become like those descending to [the] pit.

Incline your ear to me. Quickly deliver me. Become my rock of refuge, {a fortified keep} to save me.

Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. [Those who] see me in the street flee from me.

I have become forgotten like [one] dead, out of {mind}. I am like a destroyed vessel.

Do not fear when a man becomes rich, when the wealth of his house increases,

They [who] would {deliver him to the sword} will become a portion for jackals.

I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother's sons,

I have become a wonder to many, but you [are] my strong refuge.

How they become a desolation in a moment! They come to a complete end by terrors.

We have become a taunt to our neighbors, a derision and a scorn to those around us.

All passing along [the] road plunder him; he has become a taunt to his neighbors.

But Yahweh has become my [high] stronghold, and my God [has become] my rock of refuge.

And he blesses them and they multiply greatly, and he does not let their cattle become few.

When they become few and they are bent down from [the] oppression of calamity and grief,

When he is judged, let him come out guilty, and let his prayer become as sin.

[The] wicked sees [it] and is vexed. He gnashes his teeth and {becomes weak}. [The] desire of [the] wicked perishes.

[Those who] make them become like them, [as does] everyone who trusts in them.

Yah [is] my strength and [my] song, and he has become my salvation.

I will give thanks [to] you for you have answered me, and you have become my salvation.

[The] stone the builders rejected has become [the] chief cornerstone.

For I have become like a wineskin in [the] smoke, [yet] I have not forgotten your statutes.

[Those who] make them become like them, [as does] everyone who trusts in them.

I hate them with a complete hatred; they have become my enemies.

Quickly answer me, O Yahweh; my spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or I will become like [those] descending to [the] pit.
