| 1 In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, May I not be ashamed unto times age-abiding: |
|
|
| 2 In thy righteousness, wilt thou rescue me, and deliver me, Incline unto me thine ear, and save me: |
|
|
| 3 Be thou unto me, a Rock to dwell in, a Place of Security, To save me, For, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art. |
|
|
| 4 Oh my God, deliver me, From the hand of the lawless one, From the clutch of the perverse and ruthless one; |
|
|
| 5 For, thou, art my hope, My Lord, Yahweh, My confidence from my youthful days: |
|
|
| 6 Upon thee, have I stayed myself from birth, Thou art he that severed me, from the body of my mother, Of thee, shall be my praise–continually. |
|
|
| 7 A very wonder, have I been unto many, Seeing that, thou, hast been my strong refuge, |
|
|
| 8 My mouth shall be filled with, thy praise, All the day, with thy splendour. |
|
|
| 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age, When my vigour faileth, do not forsake me; |
|
|
| 10 For mine enemies have spoken of me, And, they who watch for my life, have taken counsel together; |
|
|
| 11 Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue. |
|
|
| 12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, to help me, make haste! |
|
|
| 13 Let them be ashamed–be consumed, Who are assailing my life,–Let them be covered with reproach and confusion, Who are seeking my hurt. |
|
|
| |
| |
| 14 But, I, continually will hope, And will add to all thy praise; |
|
|
| 15 My mouth, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers. |
|
|
| 16 I will enter into the mighty doings of My Lord–Yahweh, I will make mention of thy righteousness–thine alone. |
|
|
| 17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youthful days, And, hitherto, have I been wont to tell of thy wonders; |
|
|
| 18 Even now, therefore, that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me,–Until I tell of thine arm unto a [new] generation, Unto every one that is to come, thy might; |
|
|
| 19 And, as for thy righteousness, O God, up on high, Wherein thou hast wrought great things, O God! who is like unto thee? |
|
|
| 20 Thou who hast let us see many distresses and misfortunes, Wilt again bring us to life, And, out of the resounding depths of the earth, wilt again raise us up; |
|
|
| 21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, And, on every side, wilt comfort me. |
|
|
| 22 I also, will praise thee by the aid of a harp, Thy faithfulness, O my God,–I will make music unto thee with a lyre, Thou holy one of Israel; |
|
|
| 23 My lips shall make a joyful noise, When I make music unto thee, And my soul which thou hast ransomed; |
|
|
| 24 Even my tongue, all the day, shall softly utter thy righteousness, For they have turned pale–for they have blushed, Who were seeking my hurt. |
