Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Thus didst thou grant me, as a shield, thy salvation, - and, thy right hand, sustained me, and, thy condescension, made me great.

You rescued me from strife with people; you set me as head (over) nations. People I did not know served me;

They open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.

The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Although my father and my mother have abandoned me,
Yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].

By Your favor and grace, O Lord, you have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was horrified.

I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life.

I {behaved} as [though he were] a friend [or] as a brother to me. As one lamenting a mother, I was bowed down [in] mourning.

Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, as they congratulate themselves when my foot slips."

My heart grew hot within me;
as I mused, a fire burned.
I spoke with my tongue:

My adversaries taunt me,
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God?”

For every wild animal in the forest belongs to me, as well as the cattle that graze on a thousand hills.

He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

Who will conduct me to fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom!

You satisfy me as with rich food;
my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

Iniquities prevail against me: As for our transgressions, thou wilt forgive them.

Those sitting at [the] gate talk about me [as] also [the] songs of [the] drunkards.

They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

and listened to me. As long as I live, I will call to him when I need help.

Yahweh [is] for me as my helper, and [so] I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.

They surrounded me as bees; they were quenched as the fire of thorns: in the name of Jehovah for I will destroy them.

I have given my mind to do your pleasure with all my heart; have mercy on me, as you have said.

May Your faithful love comfort me
as You promised Your servant.

Sustain me as You promised, and I will live;
do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Listen to me because of your loyal love! O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!

Your compassion is great, O Lord. Revive me, as you typically do!

Let my request come before you; deliver me, as you have promised.

Let a righteous man smite me, [as] a kindness. And let him reprove me, [as] oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.
