| [1]To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me. |
[1]In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy righteousness. |
| [2]Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me. |
[2]Bow down thine ear to me: make haste to deliver me: be unto me a strong rock, and an house of defense to save me. |
| [3]For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me. |
[3]For thou art my rock and my fortress: therefore for thy name's sake direct me and guide me. |
| [4]Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou [art] my strength. |
[4]Draw me out of the net, that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. |
| [5]Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth. |
[5]Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. |
| [6]I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident. |
[6]I have hated them that give themselves to deceitful vanities: for I trust in the Lord. |
| [7]I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul. |
[7]I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast seen my trouble: thou hast known my soul in adversities, |
| [8]And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place. |
[8]And thou hast not shut me up in the hand of the enemy, but hast set my feet at large. |
| [9]Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation. |
[9]Have mercy upon me, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soul and my belly are consumed with grief. |
| [10]For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old. |
[10]For my life is wasted with heaviness, and my years with mourning: my strength faileth for my pain, and my bones are consumed. |
| [11]Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me. |
[11]I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbors: and a fear to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the street, fled from me. |
| [12]I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel. |
[12]I am forgotten, as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. |
| [13]For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised, |
[13]For I have heard the railing of great men: fear was on every side, while they conspired together against me, and consulted to take my life. |
| [14]And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.' |
[14]But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. |
| [15]In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers. |
[15]My times are in thine hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. |
| [16]Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness. |
[16]Make thy face to shine upon thy servant, and save me through thy mercy. |
| [17]O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. |
[17]Let me not be confounded, O Lord: for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be put to confusion, and to silence in the grave. |
| [18]Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. |
[18]Let the lying lips be made dumb, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speak against the righteous. |
| [19]How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee, |
[19]How great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them, that fear thee! And done to them, that trust in thee, even before the sons of men! |
| [20]Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues. |
[20]Thou dost hide them privily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues. |
| [21]Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks. |
[21]Blessed be the Lord: for he hath showed his marvelous kindness toward me in a strong city. |
| [22]And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee. |
[22]Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voice of my prayer, when I cried unto thee. |
| [23]Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer. |
[23]Love ye the Lord all his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer. |
| [24]Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah! |
[24]All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart. |
