`The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. `God is not!' [are] all his devices.

He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'

Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.

Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, `It is not required.'

Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.

Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To see if there is a wise one -- seeking God.

There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the generation of the righteous.

A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
