I keep your precepts and rules, for you are aware of everything I do.

I am depressed, so I will pray to you while I am trapped here in the region of the upper Jordan, from Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

For look, they wait to ambush me; powerful men stalk me, but not because I have rebelled or sinned, O Lord.

Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!

He gives me the agility of a deer; he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain.

Listen to me because of your loyal love! O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!

Use your spear and lance against those who chase me! Assure me with these words: “I am your deliverer!”

The enemies who chase me are numerous. Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

Then I will rejoice in the Lord and be happy because of his deliverance.

Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray!

I am determined to obey your statutes at all times, to the very end.

פ (Pe) Your rules are marvelous. Therefore I observe them.

For too long I have had to reside with those who hate peace.

I will praise the Lord who guides me; yes, during the night I reflect and learn.

Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear. Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.

You do not deliver me over to the power of the enemy; you enable me to stand in a wide open place.

Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!

I will tell about your justice, and all day long proclaim your salvation, though I cannot fathom its full extent.

As for the singers, as well as the pipers – all of them sing within your walls.
