Chanting of David in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how they pressing upon me were multiplied! many rising up against me.

O enemy! desolations were wholly finished, and thou didst tear down cities; their remembrance perished with them.

To the overseer; of David. The fool said in his heart, No God. They were corrupted, they made their; works abominable, none doing good.

All turned away together, they were corrupted: none doing good, not even one.

A smoke went up in his anger, and fire from his mouth will consume, and coals were kindled from it.

He will deliver me from my strong enemy, and from them hating me: for they were strong above me.

The fear of Jehovah being pure, standing forever: the judgments of Jehovah, truth, they were altogether just

To thee they cried and were delivered: in thee they trusted and were not ashamed.

I was poured out as water, and all my bones were sundered; my heart was as wax being melted in the midst of my bowels.

The straits of my heart were enlarged: bring me out from my distresses.

See mine enemies, for they were many, and they hated me with the hatred of violence.

In the drawing near of those doing evil to me, to eat my flesh, adversaries and enemies to me, they were weak and fell

By the word of Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the spirit of his mouth all their army.

They looked to him and were bright, and their faces shall not be ashamed.

The young lions suffered want and were hungry: and they seeking Jehovah shall not want any good.

And in my halting they rejoiced, and they were gathered together: they smiting were gathered together against me, and I knew not; they rent asunder and ceased not:

There they working vanity fell: they were thrust down, and they shall not be able to rise.

From Jehovah the steps of a man were prepared, and he will delight in his way.

For Jehovah love's judgment, and he will not forsake his godly ones; forever they were watched, and the seed of the unjust was cut off.

And they transgressing were destroyed together: the latter state of the unjust was cut of

For my loins were filled with inflammation, and no soundness in my flesh.

And mine enemies living, they were strong: and they hating me with falsehood were multiplied.

Many the wonders thou didst, O Jehovah my God, and thy purposes to us: none shall set in order to thee: I will announce and speak, they were numerous above number.

For evils even not being numbered encompassed about me: mine inquities overtook me, and I was not able to see; they were numerous above the hairs of my head, and my heart forsook me.

My tears were to me bread day and night, in saying to me all the days, Where is thy God?

For, for thee we were killed all the day; we were reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.

Nations raged, kingdoms were moved: he gave with his voice, the earth will melt

The nobles of the peoples were gathered together, the people of the God. of Abraham: for to God the shields of the earth: he was lifted up greatly.

They saw, so they were astonished; they trembled, they took flight

As sheep they were laid in hades; death shall rule over them, and the upright shall come down upon them in the morning; and their rock for falling away in hades from a dwelling to him.

To the overseer upon the stringed instrument: instruction to David. The fool said in his heart, No God. They were corrupted; they made iniquity abominable: none doing good.

They all drew back: together they were corrupt; none doing good, not even one.

He redeemed my soul in peace from the encounter against me: for with many they were with me.

They were divided from the wrath of his mouth, and his heart drew near: his words were soft above oil, and they drawn swords.

God shall be exalted; their blows were the arrow of the simple.

The words of iniquities were strong above me: our transgressions thou wilt cover them.

The lambs of the sheep were clothed, and the valleys shall be covered with corn; they shall shout for joy, they shall also sing.

Those hating me were many above the hairs of my head: mine enemies destroying me by falsehood were strong: then I will turn back what I plucked not away.

O God, thou knewest for my folly, and my faults were not hid from thee.

Also my tongue all the day shall celebrate thy justice; for they were confused, for they seeking my evil were ashamed.

The prayers of David son of Jesse were completed.

How they were for desolation as in a moment they perished; they were finished from sudden destruction.

For my heart will be embittered, and my loins were hard.

Look to thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth were filled with habitations of violence.

The mighty of heart were spoiled, they slumbered their sleep: and all the men of strength found not their hands.

In the sea thy way, and thy paths in many waters, and thy heels were not known.

And their heart was not right with him, and they were not firm in his covenant

And they will draw back, and they will transgress as their fathers: they were turned as a bow of deceit

We were a reproach to our neighbors, a derision and scorn to those being round about us.

Thou wilt not remember against us former iniquities: thy compassions shall quickly anticipate us, for we were greatly weak:

Also Assur was joined with them: they were an arm to the sons of Lot Silence.

They were destroyed at the fountain of the dwelling: they were dung to the earth.

Free among the dead, as they wounded lying down in the grave, whom thou no more didst remember them, and they were cut off by thy hand.

Before the mountains were born, and the earth shall be begun, and the habitable globe, and from forever even to forever, thou art God.

For we were finished in thine Anger, and in thy wrath we were terrified.

How great were thy works, O Jehovah! thy thoughts were very deep.

Thy testimonies were very firm: holiness was becoming to thy house, O Jehovah, to length of days.

For my days were finished in smoke, and my bones burnt as fuel.

How thy works were multiplied. O Jehovah! in wisdom thou madest them all: the earth was filled with thy possessions.

And he will humble their heart with labor; they were weak, and none helping.

My knees were weak from fasting, and my flesh failed from fatness.

Thy people were willing in the day of thy strength, in the splendors of holiness from the womb of the dawn: to thee the dew of thy childhood.

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

Would that my ways were directed to watch thy laws!

Thy laws were musics to me in the house of my sojourning.

How smooth were thy words to my palate I more than honey to my mouth!

Our feet were standing in the gates of Jeursalem.

Compassionate us, O Jehovah, compassionate us: for we were much filled with contempt

Our soul as a sparrow was delivered from the snare of the fowlers: the snare was broken and we were delivered.

Song of ascensions. In Jehovah turning back the returning of we were as those dreaming.

Jehovah magnified to do with us; we were made glad.

Song of ascensions to David. O Jehovah, my heart was not lifted up, and mine eyes were not exalted, and I went not in great things and in wonders above me.

My bones were not hid from thee, when I was made in secret. I was variegated in the lower parts of the earth.

Thine eyes saw my substance unformed; and upon thy book all of them shall be written; the days they were formed, and not one in them.

And to me how were thy thoughts precious, O God! how were their heads strong!

For they will say to thee for mischief; thine enemies were lifted up for vanity.

I hated them with completeness of hatred: they were to me for enemies.

Their judges were cast down against the hands of the rock, and they heard my words, for they were sweet.

As he cutting up and cleaving asunder in the earth, our bones were scattered at the mouth of hades.

Attend to my cry, for I languished greatly: deliver me from those pursuing me, for they were strengthened above me.

They shall praise the name of Jehovah, for he commanded and they were created:
