- For the conductor, on yonath elem rehokim (the dumb dove in the distance), of David a michtam, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
- Be gracious to me, O God, because men yearn to swallow me; all day long the warrior oppresses me.
- Those who eye me have yearned to swallow me all day long, for many fight against me, O Most High.
- The day I fear, I will hope to You.
- With God, I will praise His word; in God I trusted, I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
- All day long, my words grieve [me]; all their thoughts about me are for evil.
- They lodge, they hide, they watch my steps, when they hope for my life.
- For iniquity, they expect rescue. Bring down nations with anger, O God.
- You counted my wanderings; place my tears in Your flask. Is it not in Your accounting?
- Then my enemies will retreat on the day that I call. Thereby I will know that I have a God.
- With God[‘s justice] I will praise a word; with the Lord[‘s kindness] I will praise a word.
- In God I trusted, I will not fear. What can man do to me?
- Upon me, O God, are Your vows; I will pay thanksgiving offerings to You.
- For You saved my soul from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life.
