Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood,

To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.

In whose hand is a wicked device, And their right hand is full of bribes.

In Thy hand are my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.

O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.

Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it.

Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high Thy right hand.

And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his right hand.

Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

Lo, as eyes of men-servants Are unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant Are unto the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.

If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.

Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger,

Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
