O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.

For Thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.

By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee is my praise continually.

O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.

God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.

Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up.

And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.

As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image Thou despisest.

For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee.

Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it.

Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.

For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness -- is elevation.

From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared, and hath been still,

We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.

And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.

And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet is their food in their mouth,

They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.

He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,

He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.

And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.

And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,

From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.

God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God in Zion.

Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

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

Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy face from me.

I am afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Thy terrors -- I pine away.

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

And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal falsely in My faithfulness.

I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

Hast caused him to cease from his brightness, And his throne to the earth hast cast down.

Who is the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah.

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

For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou art.

To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.

Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.

From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.

For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is crowning thee -- kindness and mercies,

As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.

And the kindness of Jehovah Is from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.

By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between the branches They give forth the voice.

Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of Thy works is the earth satisfied.

Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it supporteth.

The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from God their food.

And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their distresses He saveth them,

He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from their destructions.

They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out.

And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And placeth families as a flock.

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial.

And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him.

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
