Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye thus in your heart on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah.

To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved to Thy mountain for the bird?

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I am.'

All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'

They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'

Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath perished!

I say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they say to Saul, 'Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me.

And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

Say to God, 'How fearful are Thy works, By the abundance of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee.

Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

And I say: 'My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.'

Why do the nations say, 'Where is their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'

Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, 'A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:'

Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years.

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

Why do the nations say, 'Where, pray, is their God.

I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age is His kindness.

I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness.

I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age is His kindness.

A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, 'Jehovah did great things with these.'

A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

And I say, 'Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night is light to me.
