1 (For the director. Set to The Silent, Distant Yonah. Of Dovid. A mikhtam — when the Pelishtim seized him in Gat)
2 Channeni (be merciful) unto me, O Elohim:
for enosh (man) tramples upon me;
kol hayom they press their attack against me.
3 Mine adversaries kol hayom trample me;
for they be rabbim that fight against me, Marom (Most High).
4 What time I am afraid,
I will trust in Thee.
5 In Elohim I will praise His Word.*See Yn 1:1,14
In Elohim I have put my trust;
I will not fear
what basar can do unto me.
6 Kol hayom they twist my words;
all their machsh'vot (thoughts) are against me for rah (evil).
7 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves,
they are shomer over my steps,
when they wait for my nefesh.
8 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In Thine anger cast down the amim (peoples), O Elohim.
9 Thou hast acted as a sofer, recording my wanderings;
put Thou my tears into Thy wineskin;
are they not in Thy Sefer (Book)?
10 On the day when I cry unto Thee,
then shall mine oyevim turn back;
of this I have da'as; for Elohim is for me.†Ro 8:31
11 In Elohim will I praise His Word;
in Hashem will I praise His Word.‡Yn 1:1; Prov 30:4; Ps 33:6; Prov 8:30
12 In Elohim have I put my trust;
I will not be afraid.
What can adam do unto me?
13 Thy nederim are upon me, O Elohim;
I will render todot (thank offerings) unto Thee.
14 For Thou hast delivered my nefesh from mavet (death).
Wilt not Thou deliver my feet from stumblimg,
that I may walk before Elohim
in the Ohr HaChayyim (the light of the living)?
