For the music director; by the Lord's servant David, who sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord rescued him from the power of all his enemies, including Saul. He said: "I love you, Lord, my source of strength!

In my distress [when I seemed surrounded] I called upon the Lord
And cried to my God for help;
He heard my voice from His temple,
And my cry for help came before Him, into His very ears.

Through my groaning all the day long.

And He delights in his way [and blesses his path].

Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

Wait for and expect the Lord and keep His way,
And He will exalt you to inherit the land;
[In the end] when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

While his heart gathers malicious gossip [against me];
When he goes away, he tells it [everywhere].

That when he lies down, he will not rise up again.”

The cruel words of my haters are like a crushing of my bones; when they say to me every day, Where is your God?

no, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death

God will help her when morning dawns.

Nations rage, kingdoms topple;

as when an east wind destroyed the ships of Tarshish.

Why should I be afraid in times of trouble, when the sinful deeds of deceptive men threaten to overwhelm me?

They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.

But God shall deliver my soul from the power of hell, when he receiveth me. Selah.

Be not afraid when [an ungodly] man becomes rich,
When the wealth and glory of his house are increased;
