If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God! How vast is their sum total!

Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the head of them that compass me about.

The righteous doth beat me in kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer is about their vexations.

As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades!

I pour out my lament before him; I tell him about my troubles.

When my spirit fainted concerning myself, then, thou, didst take note of my path, - In the course which I was about to take, they had hidden a snare for me.

I look to my right and observe no one is concerned about me. There is nowhere I can go for refuge, and no one cares for me.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

I remember the former times, meditating on everything you have done. I think about the work of your hands.

May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you. Show me the way I should go, because I long for you.

LORD, what are human beings, that you should care about them, or mortal man, that you should think about him?

One generation will praise your deeds to another, and tell about your mighty acts!

I will speak about the glorious splendor of your majesty as well as your awesome actions.

People will speak about the might of your great deeds, and I will announce your greatness.

They will extol the fame of your abundant goodness, and will sing out loud about your righteousness.

They will speak about the glory of your kingdom, and they will talk about your might,

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your authority endures from one generation to another. God is faithful about everything he says and merciful in everything he does.
