To David. To thee, O Jehovah, will I call, my rock; thou wilt not be silent from me: lest thou wilt be silent from me and I was made like with them going down to the pit

And man shall not abide in honor, being like as the beasts they perished.

Man in honor shall not understand; being like as the beasts, they perished.

These things thou didst and I was silent; thou thoughtest, being, I shall be like to thee: I will reprove thee, and I will set it in order before thine eyes.

And thy justice, O God, even to height, who didst great things: O God, who like thee?

None like to thee among the gods, O Jehovah, and none according to thy works.

I was like to the pelican of the desert: I was as the owl of the dry places.

Quickly answer me, O Jehovah: my spirit failed: thou wilt not hide thy face from me: I was made like those going down to the pit.
