"For I have kept the ways of Adonai , I have not done evil by leaving my God;

"For you, Adonai , light my lamp; Adonai , my God, lights up my darkness.

With you I can run through a whole troop of men, with my God I can leap a wall.

"As for God, his way is perfect, the word of Adonai has been tested by fire; he shields all who take refuge in him.

"For who is God but Adonai ? Who is a Rock but our God?

"It is God who girds me with strength; he makes my way go straight.

" Adonai is alive! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted be the God of my salvation,

the God who avenges me and subdues peoples under me.

The heavens declare the glory of God, the dome of the sky speaks the work of his hands.

May Adonai answer you in times of distress, may the name of the God of Ya‘akov protect you.

Then we will shout for joy at your victory and fly our flags in the name of our God. May Adonai fulfill all your requests.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we praise the name of Adonai our God.

My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why so far from helping me, so far from my anguished cries?

My God, by day I call to you, but you don't answer; likewise at night, but I get no relief.

Since my birth I've been thrown on you; you are my God from my mother's womb.

They will receive a blessing from Adonai and justice from God, who saves them.

I trust you, my God. Don't let me be disgraced, don't let my enemies gloat over me.

Guide me in your truth, and teach me; for you are the God who saves me, my hope is in you all day long.

God! Redeem Isra'el from all their troubles!

Do not hide your face from me, don't turn your servant away in anger. You are my help; don't abandon me; don't leave me, God my savior.
