A Psalm of Complaint and of Praise.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

11In You, LordH3068, I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; Let me neverH408H5769 2be 3putH954 toH954 shameH954; 4In Your righteousnessH6666 rescueH6403 me.25InclineH5186 Your earH241 to me, rescueH5337 me quicklyH4120; Be a 6rockH6697 of 7strengthH4581 for me, A 8strongholdH4686 to saveH3467 me.3For You are my rockH5553 and 9my fortressH4686; For the 10sakeH4616 of Your nameH8034 You will leadH5148 me and guideH5095 me.4You will 11pullH3318 me outH3318 of the netH7568 whichH2098 they have secretlyH2934 laidH2934 for me, For You are my 12strengthH4581.513Into Your handH3027 I entrustH6485 my spiritH7307; You have 14redeemedH6299 me, LordH3068, 15GodH410 of 16truthH571.

6I hateH8130 those who 17devoteH8104 themselves to worthlessH7723 18idolsH1892, But I 19trustH982 in the LordH3068.7I will 20rejoiceH1523 and beH8055 gladH8055 in Your faithfulnessH2617, BecauseH834 You have 21seenH7200 my miseryH6040; You have knownH3045 the troublesH6869 of my soulH5315,8And You have not 22handedH5462H3027 me overH5462 to the enemyH340; You have setH5975 my feetH7272 in a largeH4800 placeH4800.

9BeH2603 graciousH2603 to me, LordH3068, for 23I amH6887 inH6887 distressH6887; My 24eyeH5869 is wastedH6244 awayH6244 from griefH3708, 25my soulH5315 and my bodyH990 too.10For my lifeH2425 is spentH3615 with 26sorrowH3015 And my yearsH8141 with sighingH585; My 27strengthH3581 has failedH3782 because of my guiltH5771, And 28my 29bodyH6106 has wastedH6244 awayH6244.11BecauseH4480 of allH3605 my adversariesH6887, I have becomeH1961 a 30disgraceH2781, EspeciallyH3966 to my 31neighborsH7934, And an objectH6343 ofH6343 dreadH6343 to my acquaintancesH3045; Those who seeH7200 me in the streetH2351 fleeH5074 from me.12I am 32forgottenH7911 like a deadH4191 personH4191, out of mindH3820; I amH1961 like a brokenH6 vesselH3627.13For I have heardH8085 the 3334slanderH1681 of manyH7227, 35TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439; While they 36tookH3245 counselH3245 togetherH3162 againstH5921 me, They 37schemedH2161 to takeH3947 away my lifeH5315.

14But as for me, I trustH982 in You, LordH3068, I sayH559, “38You are my GodH430.”15My 39timesH6256 are in Your handH3027; 40RescueH5337 me from the handH3027 of my enemiesH340 and from those who persecuteH7291 me.16Make Your 41faceH6440 shineH215 upon Your servantH5650; 42SaveH3467 me in Your faithfulnessH2617.17Let me not be 43putH954 toH954 shameH954, LordH3068, for I callH7121 upon You; Let the 44wickedH7563 be putH954 toH954 shameH954, let them 45beH1826 silentH1826 in 46SheolH7585.18Let the 47lyingH8267 lipsH8193 beH481 speechlessH481, Which 48speakH1696 arrogantlyH6277 againstH5921 the righteousH6662 With prideH1346 and contemptH937.

19HowH4100 greatH7227 is Your 49goodnessH2898, WhichH834 You have storedH6845 up for those who fearH3372 You, Which You have performedH6466 for those who 50takeH2620 refugeH2620 in You, 51BeforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of mankindH120!20You hideH5641 them in the 52secretH5643 placeH5643 of Your presenceH6440 from the 53conspiraciesH7407 of mankindH376; You keepH6845 them secretlyH6845 in a 54shelterH5521 from the 55strifeH7379 of tonguesH3956.2156BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, For He has shownH6381 His 57marvelousH6381 faithfulnessH2617 to me in a besiegedH4692 58cityH5892.22As for me, 59I saidH559 in my alarmH2648, “I am 60cutH1629 offH1629 from Your eyesH5869”; NeverthelessH403 You 61heardH8085 the soundH6963 of my pleadingsH8469 When I calledH7768 to You forH7768 helpH7768.

23LoveH157 the LordH3068, allH3605 62His godlyH2623 onesH2623! The LordH3068 63watchesH5341 overH5341 the faithfulH539 But fullyH5921H3499 64repaysH7999 the one who actsH6213 arrogantlyH1346.2465Be strongH2388 and let your heartH3824 takeH553 courageH553, AllH3605 you who waitH3176 for the LordH3068.
