But, thou, Yahweh, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:

Thou hast seen! For, thou, mischief and misery, dost discern, to requite with thine own hand, Unto thee, doth, the unfortunate one, give himself up, To the fatherless, thou thyself, hast become a helper.

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, - Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

Hath not carried slander on his tongue, hath not done his friend a wrong, nor, a reproach, taken up against his neighbour;

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift them up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Though there pitch against me - a camp, my heart shall not fear, - Though there come up against me - a battle, still, am I confident.

When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!

Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.

Hear the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee for help, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy shrine.

I will extol thee, O Yahweh, for thou hast drawn me up, - and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me.

And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.

Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!

There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:

Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord! - to my plea:

But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.

BOOK THE SECOND As, the hart, cometh panting up to the channels of water, So my soul, panteth for thee, O God.

Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, - The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.
