i1 [Maschil of David. A Prayer when he was in the cave.] i0 par I cry out unto Jehovah with my voice; with my voice unto Jehovah I make my supplication.

When my enemies have turned back, they shall fall and perish at Your presence.

so that I may declare all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.

and have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place.

I am reckoned with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man with no strength,

You have laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the depths.

You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an abomination to them; I am shut up, and I cannot go out;

Revive me, O Jehovah, for Your name's sake! For Your righteousness' sake bring my soul out of distress.

who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. Jehovah lets loose the prisoners.

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

Arise, O Jehovah, in Your anger; lift up Yourself because of the rage of my enemies, and arouse Yourself for me to the judgment which You have commanded.

Thus the congregation of the people shall surround You; for their sakes, therefore, return on high.

Deliver Me from the lion's mouth; from the horns of the oryx. You have answered Me.

You who fear Jehovah, praise Him! All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all you seed of Israel!

My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will make good My vows before those who fear Him.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall bow down before You.

My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah; the lowly shall hear and be glad.

yet He exalts the poor out of affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

The upright see it and rejoice, and all iniquity stops its mouth.

Those who fear You will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Your Word.

I will sing to Jehovah, because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Return to your rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.

GIMEL: Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your Word.

Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the endurance of Job and seen the outcome brought about by the Lord; that the Lord is very kind and merciful.
