1 To His Eminence; A Psalm by David. In you, O Yah Veh, I seek refuge; shame me not eternally; slip me away in your justness:
2 spread your ear to me; rescue me quickly; be my rock of stronghold - a house of stronghold to save me:
3 for you are my rock and my stronghold; for sake of your name lead me and guide me.
4 Pull me from the net they hide for me; for you are my stronghold:
5 into your hand I oversee my spirit; you redeemed me, O Yah Veh El of truth.
6 I hate them who regard vain vanities and I confide in Yah Veh;
7 I cheer and twirl in your mercy for you see my humiliation; you know my soul in tribulations.
8 And you shut me not in the hand of the enemy; you stand my feet in an expanse:
9 grant me charism, O Yah Veh, for I tribulate; my eye, my soul and my belly are motheaten with vexation.
10 For my life is finished off with grief and my years with sighing; my force falters because of my perversity and my bones are motheaten.
11 I am a reproach among all my tribulators and mighty among my fellow tabernaclers and a dread to those I know; they who see me outside flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as one dead of heart - as an instrument that destructs:
13 for I hear the slander of many; terror surrounds as they set counsel against me: they intrigue to take my soul.
14 And I - I confide in you, O Yah Veh; I say, You are my Elohim.
15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies - from them who pursue me:
16 light your face on your servant; save me for sake of your mercies:
17 shame me not, O Yah Veh; for I call on you: shame the wicked to hush in sheol;
18 mute the false lips who with pomp and disrespect word impudence against the just.
19 How great is your goodness which you treasure for them who awe you; which you work for them who seek refuge in you in front of the sons of humanity.
20 Hide them in the covert of your face from the pride of man; hide them in a sukkoth/brush arbor from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed - Yah Veh; for he shows me his marvellous mercy in a city with rampart.
22 And I - I say in my haste, I am cut off in front of your eyes! - surely you hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to you.
23 O love Yah Veh, all you his mercied; Yah Veh guards the trustworthy and shalams the pompous worker.
24 Prevail! and he strengthens your heart, all you who await Yah Veh.
