I lay down and slept; I woke up because Yahweh sustains me.

O Yahweh, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight before me your way.

Treat them as guilty, O God; let them fall because of their plans. Because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take shelter in you rejoice. Let them ever sing for joy, {because} you spread protection over them; And let those [who] love your name exult in you.

Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, because I am feeble. Heal me, O Yahweh, for my bones are terrified.

My eye wastes away because of vexation; it grows old because of all my oppressors.

When my enemies turn back, they will stumble and perish because of your presence.

"Because of [the] oppression of [the] afflicted, because of [the] groaning of [the] poor, now I will rise up," Yahweh says. "I shall put [them] in [the] safety [for which] they long."

[and] lest my enemy should say, "I have overcome him," [lest] my enemies rejoice because I am shaken.

I will sing to Yahweh because he has dealt bountifully with me.

There {they are very fearful} because God [is] with [the] generation of [the] righteous.

You would put to shame [the] plan of [the] poor, because Yahweh [is] his refuge.

I have set Yahweh before me always. Because [he is] at my right hand I will not be shaken.

As for me, I have called on you because you will answer me, O God. Incline your ear to me. Hear my words.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and [the] foundations of [the] mountains trembled, and they staggered because he was angry.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from [those who] hated me because they were stronger than I.

So he brought me out to a spacious place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.

Because I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not acted wickedly against my God,

because all his ordinances [are] before me, and his statutes I have not removed from me,

His honor [is] great because of your help. Splendor and majesty you have bestowed upon him.

Because the king trusts Yahweh, and through the steadfast love of the Most High he shall not be moved.

"{He trusts Yahweh}. Let him rescue him. Let him deliver him because he delights in him."

Do not be far from me because trouble [is] near; because there is no helper.

Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion [they are at] my hands and my feet.

because he has not despised nor abhorred [the] affliction of [the] afflicted, and has not hid his face from him; but he listened to him when he cried for help.

Because the kingship belongs to Yahweh, and [he] rules over the nations.

Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil because you [are] with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me

because he has founded it on [the] seas, and has established it on [the] rivers.

Cause me to walk in your truth and teach me, because you [are] the God of my salvation. I await you {all day long}.

Remember your compassion, O Yahweh, and your acts of loyal love, because they [are] from of old.

Also, for the sake of your name, O Yahweh, forgive my sin, because it [is] great.

My eyes [are] continually toward Yahweh, because he will take my feet from [the] net.

Turn to me and have mercy on me because I [am] lonely and afflicted.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.

Judge me, O Yahweh, because I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted Yahweh and not wavered.

Because your loyal love [is] before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

Because he will hide me in his shelter in [the] day of trouble. He will conceal me in the hiding place of his tent. He will set me high upon a rock.

Teach me, O Yahweh, your way, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

Do not give me over to the desire of my enemies, because false witnesses have arisen against me, and [each] breathing out violence.

Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh, nor the work of his hands, he will destroy them and not rebuild them.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

I will exalt you, O Yahweh, because you have drawn me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

I will exult and rejoice in your loyal love. Because you have seen my misery, you know the distresses of my life.

Be gracious [to] me, O Yahweh, because I have distress. My eye wastes away because of vexation, [along with] my soul and my {body}.

For my life is at an end with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength stumbles because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

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.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has worked marvelously his loyal love to me in a besieged city.

For in him our heart rejoices because in his holy name we trust.

Do not fret because of evildoers; do not be envious of doers of wickedness.

And Yahweh helps them and he rescues them. He rescues them from [the] wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation. There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

My wounds start to stink; they rot because of my foolishness.

I am faint and crushed greatly; I groan because of the roaring of my heart.

For my iniquity I confess; I am anxious because of my sin.

Let them be appalled because of their shame, those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"

By this I know that you delight in me: because my enemy has not shouted in triumph over me.

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul, and disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, [for] the salvation of his presence.

I say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?"

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I shall again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

because you [are] the God of my refuge. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?

Why are you {in despair}, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, because I will again praise him, {my salvation} and my God.

For not with their sword did they possess [the] land, and their arm did not give them victory. Rather [it was] your right hand and your arm and the light of your presence, because you delighted in them.

because of [the] voice of [the] taunter and [the] reviler, because of [the] enemy and [the] avenger.

And [in] your majesty {ride victoriously}, because of truth and humility [and] righteousness. And let your right hand teach you awesome deeds.

Let the king desire your beauty. Because he [is] your lord, therefore bow down to him.

Let {Mount Zion} rejoice; let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

Surely God will ransom my life from the {power} of Sheol, because he will receive me. Selah

because when he dies he will not take [away] any [of it]. His wealth will not follow down after him.

And [the] heavens declare his righteousness, because God himself is judge. Selah

because every animal of the forest is mine, [the] cattle on a thousand hills.

If I were hungry I would not tell you, because [the] world and its fullness [are] mine.

I will give thanks to you forever, because [of what] you have done, and I will wait on your name, because [it is] good, in the presence of your faithful ones.

There {they are very fearful} [where] no fear had been, because God has scattered the bones of him who encamps [against] you. You have put [them] to shame, because God has rejected them.

I will freely sacrifice to you; I will give thanks [to] your name, O Yahweh, because [it is] good.

Because he has delivered me from all trouble, and my eye has looked [with satisfaction] on my enemies.

because of [the] voice [of] an enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked, because they bring down evil on me, and in anger they hold a grudge [against] me.

Confuse, O Lord; divide their speech, because I see violence and strife in the city.

Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive, because evil [is] in their home [and] {heart}.

He safely redeems my life from [the] battle against me, because [those standing] against me are among many.

God will hear and answer them, [he] who [is] enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

Be gracious to me, O God, because humankind has trampled me; fighting all the day he oppresses me.

My enemies trample all day, because many [are] attacking me proudly.

Because of iniquity will they escape? In anger cast down [the] peoples, O God.

Then my enemies will turn back {when} I call. This I know because God [is] for me.

because you have delivered my soul from death. [Have you] not [kept] my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me, because in you my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by.

Because your loyal love [is] high to [the] heavens, and your faithfulness to [the] clouds.

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

O my strength, I will watch for you, because [you], O God, [are] my (high) stronghold.

But as for me, I will sing [of] your strength, and I will hail your loyal love in the morning, because you have been my [high] stronghold and a refuge in my {time} of trouble.

O my strength, to you I will give praise, because God [is] my [high] stronghold, my God of loyal love.

You have made [the] land quake. You have split it open. Heal its fissures, because it totters.

Only for God wait in silence, O my soul, because my hope [is] from him.

And to you [belongs] loyal love, O Lord, because you will render to each according to his work.

Because your loyal love [is] better than life, my lips will praise you.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

However, the king will rejoice in God. Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast, because [the] mouth of [the] liars will be stopped.

Say to God, "How awesome are your works! Because of the greatness of your strength, your enemies will cringe before you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, because you judge [the] peoples with equity and guide the nations on the earth. Selah
