O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

There have they been in great dread, because, God, is in the circle of the righteous man.

Thou hast held fast my goings on to thy ways, My footsteps have not been shaken:

As for GOD, blameless is his way, The speech of Yahweh hath been proved, A shield, he is to all who seek refuge in him.

Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.

Remember thy compassions, O Yahweh, and thy lovingkindnesses, For, from age-past times, have they been.

Behold my humiliation and my pain, and take away all my sins.

For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;

Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, - My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!

I have been forgotten, like one dead - out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

Young, have I been, moreover am old, - Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:

For, Yahweh, loveth justice, and will not forsake his men of lovingkindness, Unto times age-abiding, have the perverse been destroyed, - and the seed of the lawless, been cut off.

O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:

For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, afar from happiness, But, my pain had been stirred:

An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.

My tears have been my food day and night, While it hath been said unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.

Overflowed hath my heart, with an excellent theme, I will recite my poem concerning the king, Be, my tongue, like the pen of a scribe who is skilled.

Most beautiful thou art, beyond the sons of men, Graciousness hath been poured forth by thy lips, For this cause, hath God blessed thee, to times age-abiding.

If thou sawest a thief, then didst thou run with him, - And, with adulterers, hath been thy chosen life;

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, - Thou hast put him to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.

At evening and morning and high noon, have I been wont to lament and complain, And he hath heard my voice!

Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;

O God, thou hast rejected us - hast scattered us, Thou hast been angry, Wilt thou restore us?

For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

Iniquitous things, have been too strong for me, As for our transgressions, wilt, thou, by propitiation remove them.

O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong-doings, from thee, have not been hid.

For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.

I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.

A very wonder, have I been unto many, Seeing that, thou, hast been my strong refuge,

O God, thou hast taught me from my youthful days, And, hitherto, have I been wont to tell of thy wonders;

And yet been smitten all the day, And been rebuked morning by morning!

But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.

In the day of my distress - unto My Lord, will I seek, My hand, by night, hath been outstretched and never once became slack, My soul, hath refused to be consoled;

Do not remember against us former iniquities, - Haste thee, let thy compassions, come to meet us, For we have been brought very low!

Wherefore should the nations say - Where is their God? Let him be known among the nations before our eyes! Yea! By the avenging of the blood of thy servants which hath been shed!

O Yahweh, God of hosts! How long hast thou been wroth with the prayer of thy people?

Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee - I shall be distracted!

Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;

Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. Selah.

Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!

But thou wilt exalt, as those of the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

Established hath been thy throne from of old, From age-past times, thou art.

If, Yahweh, had not been a help to me, Soon had sunk into silence - my soul!

At the noise of my groaning, my bone, hath cleaved, to my flesh:

So have they become few and been brought low, By oppression, misfortune, and sorrow;

For my love, they have been accusing me, while, I, was at prayer:

Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.

[LAMED] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.

Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.

I have been afflicted exceedingly, - O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.

Jerusalem! that hath been builded, A true city, all joined together as one:

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

Surely there hath not been a word on my tongue, but behold! O Yahweh, thou hast observed it on every side.

Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
