Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.

And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.

They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been troubled, they were hastened away.

He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions -- Thou dost cover them.

For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways would walk.

They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the ground!

Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou art God.

For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

Unless Jehovah were a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.

O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

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

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.

They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
