Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back -- ashamed in a moment!

If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.

Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.

I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.

As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.

Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies exult over me.

For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine iniquity, for it is great.

Mine eyes are continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth out from a net my feet.

See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my sins.

By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not.

For Thy kindness is before mine eyes, And I have walked habitually in Thy truth.

And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me.

When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

And I -- I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved -- to the age.

I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.

Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.

I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. Selah.

I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.

Mine enemies rejoice not over me with falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy burden -- too heavy for me.

My heart is panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me.

For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin.

And mine enemies are lively, They have been strong, and those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied.

Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of my days -- what it is,' I know how frail I am.

Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age is as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity is every man set up. Selah.

For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.

Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!

Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached me, In their saying unto me all the day, 'Where is thy God?'

I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:

For Mine is every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.

If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine is the world and its fulness.

Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin cleanse me,

Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot out.

Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth cut them off.

For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine enemies hath mine eye looked!

But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,

Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God is for me.

Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.

To the Overseer. -- 'Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my withstanders set me on high.

God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.

Mine is Gilead, and mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver,

I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.

Be near unto my soul -- redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.

Thou -- Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee are all mine adversaries.

For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

And I think to know this, Perverseness it is in mine eyes,

Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.

Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee, O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands.

Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine acquaintance is the place of darkness!

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

Where I sware in Mine anger, 'If they come in unto My rest !'

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.

All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.

'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, And Ephraim is the strength of my head, Judah is my lawgiver,

This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an upper robe is their shame.

Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law.

Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken Thou me.

This is my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, 'When doth it comfort me?'

Unless Thy law were my delights, Then had I perished in mine affliction.

Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it is before me to the age.

Ain. I have done judgment and righteousness, Leave me not to mine oppressors.

Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for the saying of Thy righteousness.

Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because they have not kept Thy law!

Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy words.

Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in Thy saying.

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine eyes, O dweller in the heavens.

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber,

There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have arranged a lamp for Mine anointed.

If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not one among them.
