I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God;Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech.

Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

In my distress I called upon Yahweh,And cried to my God for help;He heard my voice out of His temple,And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

For I have kept the ways of Yahweh,And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For You light my lamp;Yahweh my God illumines my darkness.

For by You I can run upon a troop;And by my God I can leap over a wall.

As for God, His way is blameless;The word of Yahweh is tried;He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.

For who is God, but Yahweh?And who is a rock, except our God,

The God who girds me with strengthAnd makes my way blameless?

Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock;And let the God of my salvation be lifted high,

The God who executes vengeance for me,And subdues peoples under me.

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;And the expanse is declaring the work of His hands.

May Yahweh answer you in the day of distress!May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!

We will sing for joy over your salvation,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners.May Yahweh fulfill all your petitions.

Some boast in chariots and some in horses,But we will boast in the name of Yahweh, our God.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Far from my salvation are the words of my groaning.

O my God, I call by day, but You do not answer;And by night, but I have no rest.

Upon You I was cast from birth;You have been my God from my mother's womb.

He shall lift up a blessing from YahwehAnd righteousness from the God of his salvation.

O my God, in You I trust,Do not let me be ashamed;Do not let my enemies exult over me.
