Jehovah is my strength, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock; I will trust in Him; He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

He is my goodness and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and He in whom I trust; who humbles my people under me.

Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song I will praise Him.

For my life is ending with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

I am weary in my groaning; all the night I make my bed swim; I melt my couch with my tears.

In my distress I called on Jehovah, and I cried to my God; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, into His ears.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Jehovah, my Rock and my Redeemer.

To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, and from the words of my groaning?

I confessed my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgression to Jehovah; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

But when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fastings; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

Stir up Yourself and awaken to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.

My lovers and my friends stand apart from my plague; and my neighbors stand far off.

Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give ear to my cry. Do not be silent at my tears; for I am a stranger with You, a pilgrim, as all my fathers were.

My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart, and my part forever.

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; and Ephraim is the strength of My head, Judah is My lawgiver;

In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength; my hiding-place is in God.

I am weary from my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor; my enemies are all before You.

Also my eye shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear the wicked who rise up against me.

Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine and Ephraim is the strength of My head; Judah is My lawgiver;
