As for me, I will call to God, and Yahweh will save me.

God will hear and answer them, [he] who [is] enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

{When} I fear, I trust you.

God, whose word I praise, God I trust; I do not fear. What can [mere] flesh do to me?

All day they twist my words; all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.

They attack, they hide, they watch my {steps}, as they [lie in] wait for my life.

Then my enemies will turn back {when} I call. This I know because God [is] for me.

God I trust; I do not fear. What can [mere] humankind do to me?

They have set a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down. They have dug a pit before me; they have fallen into the midst of it. Selah

And people will say, "Surely [there is] a {reward} for the righteous. Surely there is a God [who] judges in the land."

For look, they lie in wait for my life. The mighty attack against me, not [because of] my transgression or my sin, O Yahweh.

Look, they pour out [talk] with their mouth. Swords [are] on their lips, for [they say], "Who hears?"

O my strength, I will watch for you, because [you], O God, [are] my (high) stronghold.

[By] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips, even in their pride, let them be trapped, and for [the] curses and lies they proclaim.

As for them, they wander for food. If they are not satisfied, then they continue all night.

But as for me, I will sing [of] your strength, and I will hail your loyal love in the morning, because you have been my [high] stronghold and a refuge in my {time} of trouble.

You have rallied those who fear you round a banner {out of bowshot}, Selah

Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine, and Ephraim [is] the {helmet for} my head; Judah [is] my scepter.

Give us help against [the] adversary, for the help of humankind [is] futile.

For you have been my refuge, a strong tower from the enemy.

For you, O God, you have heard my vows. You have given [me] the heritage of those who fear your name.

Only for God my soul [waits in] silence. From him [is] my salvation.

Only for God wait in silence, O my soul, because my hope [is] from him.

Trust him at all times, O people; pour out before him your heart. God [is] a refuge for us. Selah

O God, you [are] my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you [as] in a dry and weary land without water.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

But as for them [who] seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth.

They [who] would {deliver him to the sword} will become a portion for jackals.

Hear my voice, O God, in my lamenting. Preserve my life from [the] fear of [the] enemy.

to shoot from their hiding places [at the] blameless. Suddenly they shoot [at] him and do not fear.

And then all men will fear, and will declare the working of God, and will understand his doing.

Iniquities prevail over me. As for our transgressions, you will {forgive} them.

By awesome deeds in righteousness you will answer us, O God of our salvation, [you who are the] confidence [of] all [the] ends of [the] earth and [of] the far-off seas,

so that [the] inhabitants of [the] farthest reaches are in awe of your signs. You make the dawn and sunset sing for joy.

You care for the land and water it; you greatly enrich it. The stream of God [is] filled with waters. You provide their grain, for so you have established it.

For you have tested us, O God; you have tried us as silver is tried.

You let men ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you have brought us out to the place of abundance.

Come [and] hear, all you God-fearers, and I will tell what he has done for me.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, because you judge [the] peoples with equity and guide the nations on the earth. Selah

God will bless us, and all [the] ends of [the] earth will fear him.

As smoke is driven off, you will drive [them] off. As wax melts before fire, [the] wicked will perish before God.

A father to orphans and a judge for widows [is] God in his holy habitation.

Your community dwelled in it. You provided in your goodness for the poor, O God.

Why do you look with hostility, O many-peaked mountains? This mountain God desires for his dwelling. Yes, Yahweh will abide [in it] forever.

so that your foot may shatter [them] bloody [for] the tongues of your dogs [to have] their share from [the] enemies."

Your God has commanded your strength. Show yourself strong, O God, [by] what you perform for us.

I am weary with my calling [out]; my throat is parched. My eyes are exhausted [in my] waiting for my God.

Let those who wait for you not be put to shame because of me, O Lord Yahweh [of] hosts. Let those who seek you not be disgraced because of me, O God of Israel.

because the zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those reproaching you have fallen on me.

When I wept in the fasting of my soul, it became reproaches for me.

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became for them a byword.

But as for me, my prayer [is] to you, O Yahweh, for a favorable time, O God, according to the abundance of your loyal love. Answer me with the faithfulness of your salvation.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am sick. And I hoped for sympathy, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

They also gave me gall for food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

But as for me, [though] I [am] afflicted and pained, your salvation will protect me, O God.

For Yahweh it will be better than an ox [or] bull, horned [and] hoofed.

Be for me a rock of refuge to resort to always; you have ordained to save me, because you [are] my rock and my fortress.

For my enemies talk concerning me, and those who watch for my life conspire together,

O God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

But as for me, I will hope continually and increase your praise.

My lips will sing for joy when I sing praises to you, and my soul, which you have redeemed.

Let [the] mountains yield prosperity for the people, and [the] hills in righteousness.

May he provide justice [for the] poor of [the] people, save [the] children of [the] needy, and crush [the] oppressor.

May he live long {while the sun endures} {as long as the moon} {for all generations}.

Indeed he will deliver [the] needy [who is] crying for help, and [the] afflicted [who] has no helper.

So may he live, and may gold from Sheba be given to him, and may prayers be offered for him continually. May blessings be invoked for him {all day long}.

But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled. My steps had nearly slipped,

For there are no pains up to their death, and their bodies [are] {healthy}.

For indeed, [those] distancing themselves from you will be ruined. You destroy each who abandons you for harlotry.

But as for me, the approach to God [is] for my good. I have set the Lord Yahweh [as] my refuge, in order to tell all your works.

Your enemies have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they have set up their signs [for] signs.

They have set fire to your sanctuary. They have defiled to the ground, the dwelling place for your name.

Have regard for the covenant, because [the] dark places of [the] land are full of [the] haunts of violence.

For [it is] not from [the] east or [the] west and not from [the] south [that] lifting up [comes],

For [there is] a cup in the hand of Yahweh with wine [that] foams, fully mixed, and he pours out from this. Surely all [the] wicked of [the] land {will quaff it down [to] its dregs}.

But as for me, I will proclaim forever; I will sing praise to the God of Jacob.

when God rose for justice, to save all [the] afflicted of [the] land. Selah

For the anger of humankind will praise you. You will put on [the] remnant of anger.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children,

And they tested God in their heart [by] asking food {for their craving}.

Yes, he struck [the] rock and water flowed and streams gushed out, [but] can he also give food or provide meat for his people?"

Therefore Yahweh heard and he was very angry, and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and [his] anger also rose up against Israel,

For their heart was not steadfast with him, nor were they faithful to his covenant.

for he remembered that they [were] flesh, a passing wind that does not return.

He cleared a path for his anger. He did not spare them from death but handed their life over to the plague.

And he drove out nations before them and allocated them for an inheritance by [boundary] line, and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and made him jealous with their images.

Fire devoured his young men, and his young women were not praised.

They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful to [the] beasts of [the] earth.

How long, O Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; and deliver us and forgive our sins for the sake of your name.

Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your power and come for our salvation.

even[the] stalk that your right hand planted, and concerning [the] shoot you strengthened for yourself.

[It is] burned with fire, cut down. They perish at the rebuke of your face.

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on [the] son of humankind [whom] you made strong for yourself.

Blow [the] horn at new moon, at full moon, for our feast day,

because it [is] a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.

For look, your enemies roar, and those who hate you have lifted [their] head.

For they have consulted together {with a unified purpose}. They have made a covenant against you:

They were destroyed at En-dor; they became dung for the ground.
