i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par The king shall rejoice in Your strength, O Jehovah; and in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

You have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

i1 [A Psalm of David, when he fled from his son Absalom.]i0 par O Jehovah, how my adversaries have increased! Many are they who rise up against me.

Many bulls have encircled Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me.

They have gaped at Me with their mouths, like a tearing and roaring lion.

For dogs have surrounded Me; the congregation of the wicked have enclosed Me. They have pierced My hands and My feet.

The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.

and they rose up before Moses with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown.

They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?
