For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.
Let me never be disappointed.
Deliver me in your righteousness.
[2] Bow down your ear to me.
Deliver me speedily.
Be to me a strong rock,
a house of defense to save me.
[3] For you are my rock and my fortress,
therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
[4] Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me,
for you are my stronghold.
[5] Into your hand I commend my spirit.
You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
[6] I hate those who regard lying vanities,
but I trust in Yahweh.
[7] I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,
for you have seen my affliction.
You have known my soul in adversities.
[8] You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy.
You have set my feet in a large place.
[9] Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress.
My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
[10] For my life is spent with sorrow,
my years with sighing.
My strength fails because of my iniquity.
My bones are wasted away.
[11] Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors,
a horror to my acquaintances.
Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
[12] I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man.
I am like broken pottery.
[13] For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side,
while they conspire together against me,
they plot to take away my life.
[14] But I trust in you, Yahweh.
I said, “You are my God.”
[15] My times are in your hand.
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
[16] Make your face to shine on your servant.
Save me in your loving kindness.
[17] Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you.
Let the wicked be disappointed.
Let them be silent in Sheol.
[18] Let the lying lips be mute,
which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
[19] Oh how great is your goodness,
which you have laid up for those who fear you,
which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,
before the sons of men!
[20] In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man.
You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
[21] Praise be to Yahweh,
for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
[22] As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.”
Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
[23] Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints!
Yahweh preserves the faithful,
and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
[24] Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who hope in Yahweh.

[2] Bow downH5186(HiphImpv) thine earH241 to me; deliverH5337(HiphImpv) me speedily:H4120 be thou my strongH4581 rock,H6697 for an houseH1004 of defenceH4686 to saveH3467(HiphInf) me. [3] For thou [art] my rockH5553 and my fortress;H4686 therefore for thy name’sH8034 sake leadH5148(HiphImpf) me, and guideH5095(PielImpf) me. [4] Pull me outH3318(HiphImpf) of the netH7568 thatH2098 they have laid privilyH2934(QalPerf) for me: for thou [art] my strength.H4581 [5] Into thine handH3027 I commitH6485(HiphImpf) my spirit:H7307 thou hast redeemedH6299(QalPerf) me, O LordH3068 GodH410 of truth.H571 [6] I have hatedH8130(QalPerf) them that regardH8104(QalActPtc) lyingH7723 vanities:H1892 but I trustH982(QalPerf) in the Lord.H3068 [7] I will be gladH1523(QalImpf) and rejoiceH8055(QalImpf) in thy mercy:H2617 for thou hast consideredH7200(QalPerf) my trouble;H6040 thou hast knownH3045(QalPerf) my soulH5315 in adversities;H6869 [8] And hast not shut me upH5462(HiphPerf) into the handH3027 of the enemy:H341(QalActPtc) thou hast setH5975(HiphPerf) my feetH7272 in a large room.H4800 [9] Have mercyH2603(QalImpv) upon me, O Lord,H3068 for I am in trouble:H6887(QalPerf) mine eyeH5869 is consumedH6244(QalPerf) with grief,H3708 [yea], my soulH5315 and my belly.H990 [10] For my lifeH2416 is spentH3615(QalPerf) with grief,H3015 and my yearsH8141 with sighing:H585 my strengthH3581 failethH3782(QalPerf) because of mine iniquity,H5771 and my bonesH6106 are consumed.H6244(QalPerf) [11] I was a reproachH2781 among all mine enemies,H6887(QalActPtc) but especiallyH3966 among my neighbours,H7934 and a fearH6343 to mine acquaintance:H3045(PualPtc) they that did seeH7200(QalActPtc) me withoutH2351 fledH5074(QalPerf) from me. [12] I am forgottenH7911(NiphPerf) as a dead manH4191(QalPtc) out of mind:H3820 I am like a brokenH6(QalActPtc) vessel.H3627 [13] For I have heardH8085(QalPerf) the slanderH1681 of many:H7227 fearH4032 [was] on every side:H5439 while they took counselH3245(NiphInf) togetherH3162 against me, they devisedH2161(QalPerf) to take awayH3947(QalInf) my life.H5315 [14] But I trustedH982(QalPerf) in thee, O Lord:H3068 I said,H559(QalPerf) Thou [art] my God.H430 [15] My timesH6256 [are] in thy hand:H3027 deliverH5337(HiphImpv) me from the handH3027 of mine enemies,H341(QalActPtc) and from them that persecuteH7291(QalActPtc) me. [16] Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215(HiphImpv) upon thy servant:H5650 saveH3467(HiphImpv) me for thy mercies’H2617 sake. [17] Let me not be ashamed,H954(QalImpf) O Lord;H3068 for I have calledH7121(QalPerf) upon thee: let the wickedH7563 be ashamed,H954(QalImpf) [and] let them be silentH1826(QalImpf) in the grave.H7585 [18] Let the lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be put to silence;H481(NiphImpf) which speakH1696(QalActPtc) grievousH6277 things proudlyH1346 and contemptuouslyH937 against the righteous.H6662 [19] [Oh] how greatH7227 [is] thy goodness,H2898 which thou hast laid upH6845(QalPerf) for them that fearH3373 thee; [which] thou hast wroughtH6466(QalPerf) for them that trustH2620(QalActPtc) in thee before the sonsH1121 of men!H120 [20] Thou shalt hideH5641(HiphImpf) them in the secretH5643 of thy presenceH6440 from the prideH7407 of man:H376 thou shalt keep them secretlyH6845(QalImpf) in a pavilionH5521 from the strifeH7379 of tongues.H3956 [21] BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) [be] the Lord:H3068 for he hath shewed me his marvellousH6381(HiphPerf) kindnessH2617 in a strongH4692 city.H5892 [22] For I saidH559(QalPerf) in my haste,H2648(QalInf) I am cut offH1629(NiphPerf) from beforeH5048 thine eyes:H5869 neverthelessH403 thou heardestH8085(QalPerf) the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469 when I criedH7768(PielInf) unto thee. [23] O loveH157(QalImpv) the Lord,H3068 all ye his saints:H2623 [for] the LordH3068 preservethH5341(QalActPtc) the faithful,H539(QalPasPtc) and plentifullyH3499 rewardethH7999(PielPtc) the proudH1346 doer.H6213(QalActPtc) [24] Be of good courage,H2388(QalImpv) and he shall strengthenH553(HiphImpf) your heart,H3824 all ye that hopeH3176(PielPtc) in the Lord.H3068
