Psalms for 6 of the month

Chapter 35–38

1לְדָוִד רִיבָה יְהֹוָה אֶת־יְרִיבַי לְחַם אֶת־לֹחֲמָֽיOf David. O ETERNAL One, strive with my adversaries, give battle to my foes,

2הַחֲזֵק מָגֵן וְצִנָּה וְקוּמָה בְּעֶזְרָתִֽיtake up shield and buckler, and come to my defense;

3וְהָרֵק חֲנִית וּסְגֹר לִקְרַאת רֹדְפָי אֱמֹר לְנַפְשִׁי יְֽשֻׁעָתֵךְ אָֽנִיready the spear and javelin against my pursuers; tell me, “I am your deliverance.”

4יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיַחְפְּרוּ חֹשְׁבֵי רָעָתִֽיLet those who seek my life be frustrated and put to shame; let those who plan to harm me fall back in disgrace.

5יִֽהְיוּ כְּמֹץ לִפְנֵי־רוּחַ וּמַלְאַךְ יְהֹוָה דּוֹחֶֽהLet them be as chaff in the wind, GOD’s angel driving them on.

6יְֽהִי־דַרְכָּם חֹשֶׁךְ וַחֲלַקְלַקֹּת וּמַלְאַךְ יְהֹוָה רֹדְפָֽםLet their path be dark and slippery, with GOD’s angel in pursuit.

7כִּֽי־חִנָּם טָֽמְנוּ־לִי שַׁחַת רִשְׁתָּם חִנָּם חָפְרוּ לְנַפְשִֽׁיFor without cause they hid a net to trap me; without cause they dug a pit for me.

8תְּבוֹאֵהוּ שׁוֹאָה לֹֽא־יֵדָע וְרִשְׁתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־טָמַן תִּלְכְּדוֹ בְּשׁוֹאָה יִפׇּל־בָּֽהּLet disaster overtake them unawares; let the net they hid catch them; let them fall into it when disaster [strikes].

9וְנַפְשִׁי תָּגִיל בַּיהֹוָה תָּשִׂישׂ בִּישׁוּעָתֽוֹThen shall I exult in GOD, rejoice in having been delivered.

10כׇּל־עַצְמוֹתַי תֹּאמַרְנָה יְהֹוָה מִי־כָמוֹךָ מַצִּיל עָנִי מֵחָזָק מִמֶּנּוּ וְעָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן מִגֹּֽזְלֽוֹAll my bones shall say, “ETERNAL One, who is like You? You save a pauper from someone stronger, a needy pauper from a despoiler.”

11יְקוּמוּן עֵדֵי חָמָס אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יָדַעְתִּי יִשְׁאָלֽוּנִיMalicious witnesses appear who question me about things I do not know.

12יְשַׁלְּמוּנִי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה שְׁכוֹל לְנַפְשִֽׁיThey repay me evil for good, [seeking] my bereavement.

13וַאֲנִי בַּחֲלוֹתָם לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק עִנֵּיתִי בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי וּתְפִלָּתִי עַל־חֵיקִי תָשֽׁוּבYet, when they were ill, my dress was sackcloth, I kept a fast— may what I prayed for happen to me!

14כְּרֵעַ־כְּאָח לִי הִתְהַלָּכְתִּי כַּאֲבֶל־אֵם קֹדֵר שַׁחֽוֹתִיI walked about as though it were my friend or my kin; I was bowed with gloom, like one mourning for a mother.

15וּבְצַלְעִי שָׂמְחוּ וְֽנֶאֱסָפוּ נֶאֶסְפוּ עָלַי נֵכִים וְלֹא יָדַעְתִּי קָרְעוּ וְלֹא־דָֽמּוּBut when I stumble, they gleefully gather; wretches gather against me, I know not why; they tear at me without end.

16בְּחַנְפֵי לַעֲגֵי מָעוֹג חָרֹק עָלַי שִׁנֵּֽימוֹWith impious, mocking grimace they gnash their teeth at me.

17אֲדֹנָי כַּמָּה תִרְאֶה הָשִׁיבָה נַפְשִׁי מִשֹּׁאֵיהֶם מִכְּפִירִים יְחִידָתִֽיO my Sovereign, how long will You look on? Rescue me from their attacks, my precious life, from the lions,

18אוֹדְךָ בְּקָהָל רָב בְּעַם עָצוּם אֲהַלְלֶֽךָּthat I may praise You in a great congregation, acclaim You in a mighty throng.

19אַֽל־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם יִקְרְצוּ־עָֽיִןLet not my treacherous enemies rejoice over me, or those who hate me without reason wink their eyes.

20כִּי לֹא שָׁלוֹם יְדַבֵּרוּ וְעַל רִגְעֵי־אֶרֶץ דִּבְרֵי מִרְמוֹת יַחֲשֹׁבֽוּןFor they do not offer amity, but devise fraudulent schemes against harmless folk.

21וַיַּרְחִיבוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אָמְרוּ הֶאָח הֶאָח רָאֲתָה עֵינֵֽנוּThey open wide their mouths at me, saying, “Aha, aha, we have seen it!”

22רָאִיתָה יְהֹוָה אַֽל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ אֲדֹנָי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּיYou have seen it, O ETERNAL One; do not hold aloof! O my Sovereign, be not far from me!

23הָעִירָה וְהָקִיצָה לְמִשְׁפָּטִי אֱלֹהַי וַאדֹנָי לְרִיבִֽיWake, rouse Yourself for my cause, for my claim, O my God and my Sovereign!

24שׇׁפְטֵנִי כְצִדְקְךָ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי וְאַל־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִֽיTake up my cause, O my ETERNAL God, as You are beneficent, and let them not rejoice over me.

25אַל־יֹאמְרוּ בְלִבָּם הֶאָח נַפְשֵׁנוּ אַל־יֹאמְרוּ בִּֽלַּעֲנֽוּהוּLet them not think, “Aha, just what we wished!” Let them not say, “We have destroyed him!”

26יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ יַחְדָּו שְׂמֵחֵי רָעָתִי יִֽלְבְּשׁוּ־בֹשֶׁת וּכְלִמָּה הַֽמַּגְדִּילִים עָלָֽיMay those who rejoice at my misfortune be frustrated and utterly disgraced; may those who vaunt themselves over me be clad in frustration and shame.

27יָרֹנּוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ חֲפֵצֵי צִדְקִי וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל יְהֹוָה הֶחָפֵץ שְׁלוֹם עַבְדּֽוֹMay those who desire my vindication sing forth joyously; may they always say, “Extolled be GOD who desires the well-being of one who renders service,”

28וּלְשׁוֹנִי תֶּהְגֶּה צִדְקֶךָ כׇּל־הַיּוֹם תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָwhile my tongue shall recite Your beneficent acts, Your praises all day long.

1לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְעֶבֶד־יְהֹוָה לְדָוִֽדFor the leader. Of the servant of GOD, of David.

2נְאֻֽם־פֶּשַׁע לָרָשָׁע בְּקֶרֶב לִבִּי אֵֽין־פַּחַד אֱלֹהִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינָֽיוI know what Transgression says to the wicked; they have no sense of the dread of God,

3כִּֽי־הֶחֱלִיק אֵלָיו בְּעֵינָיו לִמְצֹא עֲוֺנוֹ לִשְׂנֹֽאbecause its speech is seductive to them till their iniquity be found out and they be hated.

4דִּבְרֵי־פִיו אָוֶן וּמִרְמָה חָדַל לְהַשְׂכִּיל לְהֵיטִֽיבTheir words are evil and deceitful; they will not consider doing good.

5אָוֶן יַחְשֹׁב עַֽל־מִשְׁכָּבוֹ יִתְיַצֵּב עַל־דֶּרֶךְ לֹא־טוֹב רָע לֹא יִמְאָֽסIn bed they plot mischief; they are set on a path of no good, they do not reject evil.

6יְהֹוָה בְּהַשָּׁמַיִם חַסְדֶּךָ אֱמוּנָתְךָ עַד־שְׁחָקִֽיםO ETERNAL One, Your faithfulness reaches to heaven; Your steadfastness to the sky;

7צִדְקָתְךָ כְּֽהַרְרֵי־אֵל מִשְׁפָּטֶיךָ תְּהוֹם רַבָּה אָדָֽם־וּבְהֵמָה תוֹשִׁיעַ יְהֹוָֽהYour beneficence is like the high mountains; Your justice like the great deep; human and animal You deliver, O ETERNAL One.

8מַה־יָּקָר חַסְדְּךָ אֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי אָדָם בְּצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ יֶחֱסָיֽוּןHow precious is Your faithful care, O God! Humankind shelters in the shadow of Your wings.

9יִרְוְיֻן מִדֶּשֶׁן בֵּיתֶךָ וְנַחַל עֲדָנֶיךָ תַשְׁקֵֽםThey feast on the rich fare of Your house; You let them drink at Your refreshing stream.

10כִּֽי־עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אֽוֹרWith You is the fountain of life; by Your light do we see light.

11מְשֹׁךְ חַסְדְּךָ לְיֹדְעֶיךָ וְצִדְקָתְךָ לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽבBestow Your faithful care on those devoted to You, and Your beneficence on the upright.

12אַל־תְּבוֹאֵנִי רֶגֶל גַּאֲוָה וְיַד־רְשָׁעִים אַל־תְּנִדֵֽנִיLet not the foot of the arrogant tread on me, or the hand of the wicked drive me away.

13שָׁם נָפְלוּ פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן דֹּחוּ וְלֹא־יָכְלוּ קֽוּםThere lie the evildoers, fallen, thrust down, unable to rise.

1לְדָוִד אַל־תִּתְחַר בַּמְּרֵעִים אַל־תְּקַנֵּא בְּעֹשֵׂי עַוְלָֽהOf David. א Do not be vexed by evildoers; do not be incensed by wrongdoers;

2כִּי כֶחָצִיר מְהֵרָה יִמָּלוּ וּכְיֶרֶק דֶּשֶׁא יִבּוֹלֽוּןfor they soon wither like grass, like verdure fade away.

3בְּטַח בַּיהֹוָה וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב שְׁכׇן־אֶרֶץ וּרְעֵה אֱמוּנָֽהב Trust in GOD and do good, abide in the land and remain loyal.

4וְהִתְעַנַּג עַל־יְהֹוָה וְיִֽתֶּן־לְךָ מִשְׁאֲלֹת לִבֶּֽךָSeek GOD’s favor, and you will be granted the desires of your heart.

5גּוֹל עַל־יְהֹוָה דַּרְכֶּךָ וּבְטַח עָלָיו וְהוּא יַעֲשֶֽׂהג Leave all to GOD; be trusting; [God] will do it—

6וְהוֹצִיא כָאוֹר צִדְקֶךָ וּמִשְׁפָּטֶךָ כַּֽצׇּהֳרָֽיִםcausing your vindication to shine forth like the light, the justice of your case, like the noonday sun.

7דּוֹם לַיהֹוָה וְהִתְחוֹלֵֽל לוֹ אַל־תִּתְחַר בְּמַצְלִיחַ דַּרְכּוֹ בְּאִישׁ עֹשֶׂה מְזִמּֽוֹתד Be patient and wait for GOD, do not be vexed by the one who is prospering— the opponent who carries out schemes.

8הֶרֶף מֵאַף וַעֲזֹב חֵמָה אַל־תִּתְחַר אַךְ־לְהָרֵֽעַה Give up anger, abandon fury, do not be vexed; it can only do harm.

9כִּֽי־מְרֵעִים יִכָּרֵתוּן וְקֹוֵי יְהֹוָה הֵמָּה יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָֽרֶץFor evildoers will be cut off, but those who look to GOD— they shall inherit the land.

10וְעוֹד מְעַט וְאֵין רָשָׁע וְהִתְבּוֹנַנְתָּ עַל־מְקוֹמוֹ וְאֵינֶֽנּוּו A little longer and there will be no wicked; you will look at where they were— they will be gone.

11וַעֲנָוִים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְהִֽתְעַנְּגוּ עַל־רֹב שָׁלֽוֹםBut the lowly shall inherit the land, and delight in abundant well-being.

12זֹמֵם רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וְחֹרֵק עָלָיו שִׁנָּֽיוז The wicked scheme against the righteous, and gnash their teeth at them.

13אֲדֹנָי יִשְׂחַק־לוֹ כִּי־רָאָה כִּֽי־יָבֹא יוֹמֽוֹMy Sovereign laughs at them, knowing that their day will come.

14חֶרֶב פָּתְחוּ רְשָׁעִים וְדָרְכוּ קַשְׁתָּם לְהַפִּיל עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן לִטְבוֹחַ יִשְׁרֵי־דָֽרֶךְח The wicked draw their swords, bend their bows, to bring down the lowly and needy, to slaughter the upright.

15חַרְבָּם תָּבוֹא בְלִבָּם וְקַשְּׁתוֹתָם תִּשָּׁבַֽרְנָהTheir swords shall pierce their own hearts, and their bows shall be broken.

16טוֹב־מְעַט לַצַּדִּיק מֵהֲמוֹן רְשָׁעִים רַבִּֽיםט Better the little that a righteous person has than the great abundance of the wicked.

17כִּי זְרוֹעוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּשָּׁבַרְנָה וְסוֹמֵךְ צַדִּיקִים יְהֹוָֽהFor the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but GOD is the support of the righteous.

18יוֹדֵעַ יְהֹוָה יְמֵי תְמִימִם וְנַחֲלָתָם לְעוֹלָם תִּהְיֶֽהי GOD is concerned for the needs of the blameless; their portion lasts forever;

19לֹֽא־יֵבֹשׁוּ בְּעֵת רָעָה וּבִימֵי רְעָבוֹן יִשְׂבָּֽעוּthey shall not come to grief in bad times; in famine, they shall eat their fill.

20כִּי רְשָׁעִים יֹאבֵדוּ וְאֹיְבֵי יְהֹוָה כִּיקַר כָּרִים כָּלוּ בֶעָשָׁן כָּֽלוּכ But the wicked shall perish, and GOD’s enemies shall be consumed, like meadow grass consumed in smoke.

21לֹוֶה רָשָׁע וְלֹא יְשַׁלֵּם וְצַדִּיק חוֹנֵן וְנוֹתֵֽןל The wicked borrow and do not repay; the righteous are generous and keep giving.

22כִּי מְבֹרָכָיו יִירְשׁוּ אָרֶץ וּמְקֻלָּלָיו יִכָּרֵֽתוּThose blessed by [God] shall inherit the land, but those who are cursed shall be cut off.

23מֵיְהֹוָה מִֽצְעֲדֵי־גֶבֶר כּוֹנָנוּ וְדַרְכּוֹ יֶחְפָּֽץמ People’s steps are made firm by GOD, when their way is a delight to [God].

24כִּֽי־יִפֹּל לֹֽא־יוּטָל כִּֽי־יְהֹוָה סוֹמֵךְ יָדֽוֹThough they stumble, they do not fall down, for GOD gives them support.

25נַעַר הָיִיתִי גַּם־זָקַנְתִּי וְֽלֹא־רָאִיתִי צַדִּיק נֶעֱזָב וְזַרְעוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ־לָֽחֶםנ I have been young and am now old, but I have never seen someone righteous abandoned, or their children seeking bread.

26כׇּל־הַיּוֹם חוֹנֵן וּמַלְוֶה וְזַרְעוֹ לִבְרָכָֽהThey are always generous, and lend, and their children are held blessed.

27סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב וּשְׁכֹן לְעוֹלָֽםס Shun evil and do good, and you shall abide forever.

28כִּי יְהֹוָה אֹהֵב מִשְׁפָּט וְלֹא־יַעֲזֹב אֶת־חֲסִידָיו לְעוֹלָם נִשְׁמָרוּ וְזֶרַע רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽתFor GOD loves what is right, and does not abandon those who are faithful. They are preserved forever, while the children of the wicked will be cut off.

29צַדִּיקִים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָרֶץ וְיִשְׁכְּנוּ לָעַד עָלֶֽיהָThe righteous shall inherit the land, and abide forever in it.

30פִּֽי־צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה חׇכְמָה וּלְשׁוֹנוֹ תְּדַבֵּר מִשְׁפָּֽטפ The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and their tongue speaks what is right.

31תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהָיו בְּלִבּוֹ לֹא תִמְעַד אֲשֻׁרָֽיוThe teaching of their God is in their heart; their feet do not slip.

32צוֹפֶה רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וּמְבַקֵּשׁ לַהֲמִיתֽוֹצ The wicked watch for the righteous, seeking to put them to death;

33יְהֹוָה לֹא־יַעַזְבֶנּוּ בְיָדוֹ וְלֹא יַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ בְּהִשָּׁפְטֽוֹGOD will not abandon them to their power, and will not let them be condemned in judgment.

34קַוֵּה אֶל־יְהֹוָה וּשְׁמֹר דַּרְכּוֹ וִֽירוֹמִמְךָ לָרֶשֶׁת אָרֶץ בְּהִכָּרֵת רְשָׁעִים תִּרְאֶֽהק Look to GOD and keep to the godly way, and you will be raised high that you may inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

35רָאִיתִי רָשָׁע עָרִיץ וּמִתְעָרֶה כְּאֶזְרָח רַעֲנָֽןר I saw the wicked, powerful, well-rooted like a robust native tree.

36וַֽיַּעֲבֹר וְהִנֵּה אֵינֶנּוּ וָאֲבַקְשֵׁהוּ וְלֹא נִמְצָֽאSuddenly they vanished and were gone; I sought them, but they were not to be found.

37שְׁמׇר־תָּם וּרְאֵה יָשָׁר כִּֽי־אַחֲרִית לְאִישׁ שָׁלֽוֹםש Mark the blameless, note the upright, for there is a future for the person of integrity.

38וּֽפֹשְׁעִים נִשְׁמְדוּ יַחְדָּו אַחֲרִית רְשָׁעִים נִכְרָֽתָהBut transgressors shall be utterly destroyed, the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

39וּתְשׁוּעַת צַדִּיקִים מֵיְהֹוָה מָעוּזָּם בְּעֵת צָרָֽהת The deliverance of the righteous comes from GOD, their stronghold in time of trouble.

40וַיַּעְזְרֵם יְהֹוָה וַֽיְפַלְּטֵם יְפַלְּטֵם מֵרְשָׁעִים וְיוֹשִׁיעֵם כִּי־חָסוּ בֽוֹGOD helps them and rescues them, rescues them from the wicked and delivers them, for in [God] they seek refuge.

1מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽירA psalm of David. Lehazkir.

2יְֽהֹוָה אַל־בְּקֶצְפְּךָ תוֹכִיחֵנִי וּֽבַחֲמָתְךָ תְיַסְּרֵֽנִיO ETERNAL One, do not punish me in wrath; do not chastise me in fury.

3כִּֽי־חִצֶּיךָ נִחֲתוּ בִי וַתִּנְחַת עָלַי יָדֶֽךָFor Your arrows have struck me; Your blows have fallen upon me.

4אֵין־מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִי מִפְּנֵי זַעְמֶךָ אֵין־שָׁלוֹם בַּעֲצָמַי מִפְּנֵי חַטָּאתִֽיThere is no soundness in my flesh because of Your rage, no wholeness in my bones because of my sin.

5כִּי עֲוֺנֹתַי עָבְרוּ רֹאשִׁי כְּמַשָּׂא כָבֵד יִכְבְּדוּ מִמֶּֽנִּיFor my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are like a heavy burden, more than I can bear.

6הִבְאִישׁוּ נָמַקּוּ חַבּוּרֹתָי מִפְּנֵי אִוַּלְתִּֽיMy wounds stink and fester because of my folly.

7נַעֲוֵיתִי שַׁחֹתִי עַד־מְאֹד כׇּל־הַיּוֹם קֹדֵר הִלָּֽכְתִּיI am all bent and bowed; I walk about in gloom all day long.

8כִּֽי־כְסָלַי מָלְאוּ נִקְלֶה וְאֵין מְתֹם בִּבְשָׂרִֽיFor my sinews are full of fever; there is no soundness in my flesh.

9נְפוּגוֹתִי וְנִדְכֵּיתִי עַד־מְאֹד שָׁאַגְתִּי מִֽנַּהֲמַת לִבִּֽיI am all benumbed and crushed; I roar because of the turmoil in my mind.

10אֲֽדֹנָי נֶגְדְּךָ כׇל־תַּאֲוָתִי וְאַנְחָתִי מִמְּךָ לֹֽא־נִסְתָּֽרָהO my Sovereign, You are aware of all my entreaties; my groaning is not hidden from You.

11לִבִּי סְחַרְחַר עֲזָבַנִי כֹחִי וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַי גַּם־הֵם אֵין אִתִּֽיMy mind reels; my strength fails me; my eyes too have lost their luster.

12אֹֽהֲבַי וְרֵעַי מִנֶּגֶד נִגְעִי יַעֲמֹדוּ וּקְרוֹבַי מֵרָחֹק עָמָֽדוּMy friends and companions stand back from my affliction; my kin stand far off.

13וַיְנַקְשׁוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי וְדֹרְשֵׁי רָעָתִי דִּבְּרוּ הַוּוֹת וּמִרְמוֹת כׇּל־הַיּוֹם יֶהְגּֽוּThose who seek my life lay traps; those who wish me harm speak malice; they utter deceit all the time.

14וַאֲנִי כְחֵרֵשׁ לֹא אֶשְׁמָע וּכְאִלֵּם לֹא יִפְתַּח־פִּֽיוBut I am like the deaf, unhearing, like the mute who cannot speak up;

15וָאֱהִי כְּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שֹׁמֵעַ וְאֵין בְּפִיו תּוֹכָחֽוֹתI am like one who does not hear, whose mouth has no retort.

16כִּֽי־לְךָ יְהֹוָה הוֹחָלְתִּי אַתָּה תַעֲנֶה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהָֽיBut I wait for You, O ETERNAL One; You will answer, O my Sovereign, my God.

17כִּֽי־אָמַרְתִּי פֶּן־יִשְׂמְחוּ־לִי בְּמוֹט רַגְלִי עָלַי הִגְדִּֽילוּFor I fear they will rejoice over me; when my foot gives way they will vaunt themselves against me.

18כִּֽי־אֲנִי לְצֶלַע נָכוֹן וּמַכְאוֹבִי נֶגְדִּי תָמִֽידFor I am on the verge of collapse; my pain is always with me.

19כִּֽי־עֲוֺנִי אַגִּיד אֶדְאַג מֵחַטָּאתִֽיI acknowledge my iniquity; I am fearful over my sin;

20וְֽאֹיְבַי חַיִּים עָצֵמוּ וְרַבּוּ שֹׂנְאַי שָֽׁקֶרfor my mortal enemies are numerous; my treacherous foes are many.

21וּמְשַׁלְּמֵי רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה יִשְׂטְנוּנִי תַּחַת (רדופי) [רׇֽדְפִי־]טֽוֹבThose who repay evil for good harass me for pursuing good.

22אַל־תַּעַזְבֵנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי אַל־תִּרְחַק מִמֶּֽנִּיDo not abandon me, O ETERNAL One; my God, be not far from me;

23חוּשָׁה לְעֶזְרָתִי אֲדֹנָי תְּשׁוּעָתִֽיhasten to my aid, O my Sovereign, my deliverance.
