Let us break asunder their bonds, - and cast from us their cords!

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Yahweh hath heard the voice of my weeping:

O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, - Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

When mine enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished from before thee;

His ways are firm at all times, On high, are thy righteous regulations, out of his sight, As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them:

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be shaken, - From generation to generation, shall I be in no misfortune.

O save Yahweh, for the man of lovingkindness, is no more, for the faithful, have vanished, from among the sons of men.

Thou, O Yahweh, wilt keep them, - Thou wilt guard him, from this generation unto times age-abiding.

How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Let thy lovingkindness be distinguished, thou Saviour of such as seek refuge from them who lift themselves up against thy right hand.

From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:

Rise, Yahweh! Confront his face, Bring him down, Deliver my soul from the lawless one who is thy sword:

From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

He sent from on high, he took me, - he drew me out of many waters.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

For I had kept the ways of Yahweh, and not broken away from my God;

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

So became I blameless with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.

Thus didst thou rescue me from the contentions of a people, - didst appoint me to be the head of nations, A people I had not known, served me:

Who hath delivered me from my foes, - Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.

From one end of the heavens, is his going forth, and, his circuit, to the other end thereof - and, nothing, is hid from his glowing heat.

More desirable, than gold, yea than much fine gold, Sweeter, also than honey, or than droppings from the comb.

Mistakes, who perceiveth? From things that are hidden, acquit me:

Even from the presumptuous, keep back thy servant, May they not have dominion over me, Then, shall I be blameless, and shall be acquitted from great transgression:

Their fruit - out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;

My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?

For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;

Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.

Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help.

Rescue, from the sword, my life, from the power of the dog, my solitary self:

Save me from the mouth of the lion, - Yea, from the horns of wild beasts, hast thou delivered me.

For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.

For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.

Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!

Unto thee, O Yahweh, do I cry, O my Rock! do not turn in silence from me, - lest, if thou turn from me in silence, I be like them who go down into the pit.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, - They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:

In thy hand, are my times, Rescue me from the hand of my foes and from my pursuers!

Thou wilt conceal them, in the secrecy of thine own presence, from the conspiracies of men, - Thou wilt hide them in a pavilion, from the strife of tongues.

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, - With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. Selah.

The counsel of Yahweh, to times age-abiding, shall stand, The devices of his heart, from generation to generation.

To rescue, from death, their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.

Keep thy tongue from wickedness, And thy lips from speaking deceit:

Depart from wickedness and do good, Aim at well-being, and pursue it.

the face of Yahweh, is against such as do wickedness, To cut off, from the earth, their memory.

Keeping all his bones, Not, one from among them, is broken.

All my bones, shall say - O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.

My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.

Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me:

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath, Burn not with vexation - it would be only to do evil;

From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased:

Turn from evil, and do good, and so settle down, unto times age-abiding.

But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.

Thus hath Yahweh helped them, thus hath he delivered them, - He will deliver them from the lawless, and will save them, because they have sought refuge in him.

O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:

My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, - and, my near ones, far away, do stand:

Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been stirred:

Lo! as hand-breadths, hast thou granted my days, and my life-time, is as nothing before thee, - Surely, a mere breath, are all men, even such as stand firm. Selah.

From all my transgressions, rescue thou me, - The reproach of the base, oh do not make me!

Remove from off me thy stroke, Because of the hostility of thy hand, am, I, consumed.

Look away from me that I may brighten up, Ere yet I depart and am no more.

So he brought me up, Out of the destroying pit, Out of the swampy mire, - And set, upon a cliff, my feet, Making firm my steps:

Thy righteousness, have I not hid in the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and thy salvation, have I spoken, I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness from the great convocation.

Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.

Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!

My God! over myself, my soul is cast down, - For this cause, will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, And the Hermons, from the hill Mizar.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.

Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:

Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;

Like sheep - into hades, are they driven, Death shall shepherd them, - And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning, Even their form, is to decay, Hades, is all that remaineth of a habitation for him.

El, Elohim, Yahweh, hath spoken, and culled the earth, From the rising of the sun, unto the going in thereof:

Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And, from my sin, make me pure;

Wilt thou cleanse me from sin with hyssop, That I may be pure? Wilt thou wash me, That I may be whiter, than snow?

Hide thy face from my sins, - And, all mine iniquities, blot out;

Do not cast me away from thy presence, And, thy Holy Spirit, do not take from me:

Rescue me from shed-blood, O God, the God of my salvation, My tongue should shout thy righteousness;

Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And do not hide thyself from my supplication:

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.

Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.

For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, - Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;

For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not rescue my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.

Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;

Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:

Rescue me, from the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.

From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

Surely, towards God, silence becometh my soul, From him, is my salvation:

Surely, from his elevation, they have taken counsel to thrust him down, They accept falsehood, - With his mouth, they each of them bless, But, inwardly, they revile. Selah.

Surely, towards God, be thou silent, my soul, For, from him, is mine expectation:

Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.

Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his own lovingkindness from me.

The GOD we have, is a GOD of saving deeds, And, due to Yahweh, My Lord, are escapes from death.

Said My Lord, From Bashan, will I bring back, - I will bring back from the depths of the sea:
