He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

What is man, that you keep him in mind? the son of man, that you take him into account?

The nations have fallen into the pit they made;
their foot is caught in the net they have concealed.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave it, Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

Break the arm of the wicked and evil person;
call his wickedness into account
until nothing remains of it.

All [the] {healthy ones} of [the] earth will eat and worship. Before him all [of] those descending [into the] dust will kneel, even he [who] cannot keep his soul alive.

He will turn back my soul: he will guide me into the tracks of justice for sake of his name.

Also if I shall go into the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid of evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they will comfort me.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Guide me into thy truth and teach me, for, thou, art my delivering God, For thee, have I waited all the day:

Good and upright, is Yahweh, For this cause, will he direct sinners into the way.

Who then is the man that revereth Yahweh? Let him direct him into the way he should choose.

LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit.

"What gain [is there] in my {death}, in my going down into [the] pit? Will [the] dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap;
He puts the depths into storehouses.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

O Yahweh, your loyal love [extends] into [the] heavens, your faithfulness unto [the] clouds.

and he won’t rise again from where he lies!”

These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

My enemies' taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

But you rejected and embarrassed us! You did not go into battle with our armies.
