A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my right hand I am not moved.

In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.

O the happiness of the nation whose God is Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.

I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.

I -- I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.

Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.

They said in their hearts, 'Let us oppress them together,' They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land.

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.
