May he give to you {your heart's desire}, and your every plan may he fulfill. Selah

May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God may we set up banners. May Yahweh fulfill all your requests.

My God, my God why have you forsaken me? [Why are you] far from helping me, [far from] the words of my groaning?

O my God, I call by day and you do not answer, and [by] night but I have no rest.

All [who] see me mock me. They open wide [their] lips; they shake [the] head, [saying]:

Yet [you] took me from [the] belly; you made me trust [while] on my mother's breasts.

On you I was cast from [the] womb. From my mother's belly you [have been] my God.

Do not be far from me because trouble [is] near; because there is no helper.

Many bulls have encircled me; mighty [bulls] of Bashan have surrounded me.

They open their mouth against me [like] a lion tearing and roaring.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted {within me}.

My strength is dry like a potsherd, and my tongue is sticking [to] my jaws; and you have placed me in [the] dust of death.

Because dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has encircled me. Like the lion [they are at] my hands and my feet.

I can count all my bones; they gaze, they look at me.

They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

But you, O Yahweh, do not remain distant. O my help, hasten to help me.

Rescue my life from [the] sword, my only [life] from [the] power of [the] dogs.

Save me from [the] mouth of [the] lion, and from [the] horns of [the] wild oxen answer me.

I will tell your name to my brothers; inside [the] assembly I will praise you.

From you [is] my praise. In [the] great assembly, I will pay my vows before those who revere him.

[The] afflicted will eat and will be satisfied. Those who seek him will praise Yahweh. May your heart live forever.

Yahweh is my shepherd; I will not lack [for anything].

In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; by quiet waters he leads me.

He restores my life. He leads me in {correct paths} for the sake of his name.

Even when I walk in a dark valley, I fear no evil because you [are] with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me

You prepare before me a table in the presence of my oppressors. You anoint my head with oil; my cup [is] overflowing.

Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will stay in the house of Yahweh {for a very long time}.

Who may ascend [the] mountain of Yahweh? And who may stand in his holy place?

Lift up your heads, O gates, and rise up, O ancient doorways, that the king of glory may enter.

Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift up, O ancient doorways, that the king of glory may enter.

To you, O Yahweh, I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust you; let me not be put to shame. Do not let my enemies exult over me.

Make me know your ways, O Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

Cause me to walk in your truth and teach me, because you [are] the God of my salvation. I await you {all day long}.

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions. According to your loyal love remember me [if] you [will], for the sake of your goodness, O Yahweh.

Also, for the sake of your name, O Yahweh, forgive my sin, because it [is] great.

My eyes [are] continually toward Yahweh, because he will take my feet from [the] net.

Turn to me and have mercy on me because I [am] lonely and afflicted.

Remove the troubles of my heart; bring me out from my distresses.

Consider my affliction and trouble, and forgive all my sins.

Consider that my enemies are many, and they hate me [with] violent hatred.

Protect my life and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, because I take shelter in you.

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for you.

Judge me, O Yahweh, because I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted Yahweh and not wavered.

Prove me, O Yahweh, and test me. Try my {innermost being} and my {mind}.

Because your loyal love [is] before my eyes, and I walk about in your faithfulness.

I will wash my hands in innocence, and I will walk about your altar, O Yahweh,

Do not destroy me with [the] sinners, nor my life with men of bloodshed,

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me and be gracious to me.

My foot stands on level ground. In assemblies I will bless Yahweh.

Yahweh [is] my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Yahweh [is] the refuge of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When evildoers drew near against me to eat my flesh-- my adversaries and my enemies [who drew near] to me-- they themselves stumbled and fell.

Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fear. Though war arise against me, [even] in this I [will] remain confident.

One [thing] I have asked from Yahweh; it I will seek: [that] I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Yahweh, and to consider his temple.

Because he will hide me in his shelter in [the] day of trouble. He will conceal me in the hiding place of his tent. He will set me high upon a rock.

And now my head will be high over my enemies round about me. And I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

Hear, O Yahweh, my voice [when] I call, and be gracious to me and answer me.

On your behalf my heart says, "Seek my face." Your face, O Yahweh, I do seek.

Do not hide your face from me; do not turn your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not abandon nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

If my father or my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will receive me.

Teach me, O Yahweh, your way, and lead me on a level path because of my enemies.

Do not give me over to the desire of my enemies, because false witnesses have arisen against me, and [each] breathing out violence.

To you, O Yahweh, I call. O my rock, do not be deaf to me. Or else, if you are silent to me, then I will become like those descending to [the] pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your holy inner sanctuary.

Do not drag me away with [the] wicked or with [the] workers of evil, [who] speak of peace with their neighbors, while evil [is] in their heart.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my supplications.

Yahweh [is] my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him and I am helped. So my heart rejoices, and with my song I will give thanks to him.

May Yahweh give strength to his people. May Yahweh bless his people with peace.

I will exalt you, O Yahweh, because you have drawn me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help to you, and you healed me.

O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to [the] pit.

But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, "I shall not be moved ever."

O Yahweh, by your favor you caused my strong mountain to stand. You hid your face. I was bewildered.

"What gain [is there] in my {death}, in my going down into [the] pit? Will [the] dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

"O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper."

You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me [with] joy

so that {I} may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge. Let me not be put to shame ever. Deliver me by your righteousness.

Incline your ear to me. Quickly deliver me. Become my rock of refuge, {a fortified keep} to save me.

For you [are] my rock and my fortress. So, for the sake of your name, lead me and guide me.

Bring me out of [the] net that they have secretly set for me, for you [are] my refuge.

Into your hand I commit my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Yahweh, faithful God.

I will exult and rejoice in your loyal love. Because you have seen my misery, you know the distresses of my life.

And you have not delivered me into [the] hand of [the] enemy. You have set my feet in a broad place.

Be gracious [to] me, O Yahweh, because I have distress. My eye wastes away because of vexation, [along with] my soul and my {body}.

For my life is at an end with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength stumbles because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

Because of all my adversaries I have become a disgrace, especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. [Those who] see me in the street flee from me.

For I hear [the] rumor of many, "Terror on every side!" When conspiring together against me, they have plotted to take my life.

But as for me, I trust you, O Yahweh. I say, "You [are] my God."

My times [are] in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from [those who] pursue me.

Shine your face upon your servant. Save me by your loyal love.

O Yahweh, let me not be put to shame, for I call on you. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them [go] silently to Sheol.

Blessed [is] Yahweh, because he has worked marvelously his loyal love to me in a besieged city.

As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before your eyes." However you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for help.

When I kept silent, my bones were worn out due to my groaning all the day.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me. My vigor was changed into [the] dry heat of summer. Selah

I made known my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not cover. I said, "I will confess concerning my transgressions to Yahweh," and you took away the guilt of my sin. Selah

You [are] my hiding place; from trouble you preserve me. [With] cries of deliverance you surround me. Selah

I will instruct you and teach you in [the] way that you should go. I will advise [you] [with] my eye upon you.

I will bless Yahweh at all times; his praise [shall be] in my mouth continually.
