Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I, - Wasted with vexation, is mine eye - my soul and my body;

For, consumed with sorrow, is my life, and my years with sighing, - My strength hath staggered with my humiliation, and, my bones, are without marrow.

For I have heard the whispering of many - A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.

O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless ha ashamed, go down in silence to hades!

How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, - Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.

Blessed be Yahweh, for he hath made wonderful his lovingkindness for me, in a fortified city.

But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, - But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.

Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.

For, day and night, heavy upon me, was thy hand, - Changed was my life-sap into the drought of summer. Selah.

For this cause, will every man of lovingkindness pray unto thee, in time to obtain, - Surely, in the overflow of many waters, unto him, shall they not reach.

Thou, art a hiding-place for me, From distress, wilt thou preserve me, - With shouts of deliverance, wilt thou compass me about. Selah.

Shout for joy, ye righteous, in Yahweh, To the upright, seemly is praise.

For right is the word of Yahweh, and, all his wok, is in faithfulness:

For, he, spake, and it was, He, commanded, and it stood forth.

A deception, is the horse, for victory, and, by his great strength, shall he not deliver.

Lo! the eye of Yahweh, is toward them who revere him, unto such as are waiting for his lovingkindness:

Our own soul, hath waited for Yahweh, Our help and our shield, is he!

For, in him, shall our heart rejoice, For, in his holy Name, have we trusted.

Be thy lovingkindness, O Yahweh, upon us, According as we have waited for thee.

They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.
