English Translation
For the leader. A psalm of David. I seek refuge in You, O ETERNAL One;
may I never be disappointed;
as You are righteous, rescue me. Incline Your ear to me;
be quick to save me;
be a rock, a stronghold for me,
a citadel, for my deliverance. For You are my rock and my fortress;
You lead me and guide me as befits Your name. You free me from the net laid for me,
for You are my stronghold. Into Your hand I entrust my spirit;
You redeem me, O ETERNAL One, faithful God. I detest those who rely on empty folly,
but I trust in GOD. Let me exult and rejoice in Your faithfulness
when You notice my affliction,
are mindful of my deep distress, and do not hand me over to my enemy,
but grant me relief.agrant me relief Lit. “make my feet stand in a broad place.” Have mercy on me, O ETERNAL One,
for I am in distress;
my eyes are wasted by vexation,
my substance and body too.bmy substance and body too Meaning of Heb. uncertain. My life is spent in sorrow,
my years in groaning;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
my limbs waste away. Because of all my foes
I am the particular butt of my neighbors,
a horror to my friends;
those who see me on the street avoid me. I am put out of mind like the dead;
I am like an object given up for lost. I hear the whisperings of many,
intriguecintrigue In contrast to others “terror.” on every side,
as they scheme together against me,
plotting to take my life. But I trust in You, O ETERNAL One;
I say, “You are my God!” My fate is in Your hand;
save me from the hand of my enemies and pursuers. Show favor to Your servant;
as You are faithful, deliver me. O ETERNAL One, let me not be disappointed when I call You;
let the wicked be disappointed;
let them be silenced in Sheol; let lying lips be stilled
that speak haughtily against the righteous
with arrogance and contempt. How abundant is the good
that You have in store for those who fear You,
that You do in full view
for those who take refuge in You. You grant them the protection of Your presence
against the opposition’s schemes;dagainst the opposition’s schemes Or “against human schemes.”
You shelter them in Your pavilion
from contentious tongues. Blessed is GOD,
who has been wondrously faithful to me,
a veritable bastion. Alarmed, I had thought,
“I am thrust out of Your sight”;
yet You listened to my plea for mercy
when I cried out to You. So love GOD, all you faithful;
GOD guards the loyal,
and more than requites
the one who acts arrogantly. Be strong and of good courage,
all you who wait for GOD.
