And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.

Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart.

Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.

Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.

And draw out the spear, and stop the way against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:

And the daughter of Tyre with a gift, the rich ones among the people, shall court thy favour.

Now consider this, ye that forget +God, lest I tear in pieces, and there be no deliverer.

But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.

On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.

But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord Jehovah, that I may declare all thy works.

And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;

Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them thatknow me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this man was born there.

The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

But Jehovah will be my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.

Their soul abhorreth all manner of food, and they draw near unto the gates of death:

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

My mercy and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me!
