For my enemies talk about me; those waiting for a chance to kill me plot my demise.

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

For you will extend your great loyal love to me, and will deliver my life from the depths of Sheol.

For my life is filled with troubles and I am ready to enter Sheol.

O Lord, why do you reject me, and pay no attention to me?

If the Lord had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death.

Praise the Lord, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds!

I called on the name of the Lord, “Please Lord, rescue my life!”

Rest once more, my soul, for the Lord has vindicated you.

I desperately long to know your regulations at all times.

I said, “O Lord, rescue me from those who lie with their lips and those who deceive with their tongue.

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

I spread my hands out to you in prayer; my soul thirsts for you in a parched land.

O Lord, for the sake of your reputation, revive me! Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!

The night watchmen found me – the ones who guard the city walls. “Have you seen my beloved?”

I was beside myself with joy! There please give me your myrrh, O daughter of my princely people.

“My portion is the Lord,” I have said to myself, so I will put my hope in him.

So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you.”

The enemy said, ‘I will chase, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire will be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.’

The Kishon River carried them off; the river confronted them – the Kishon River. Step on the necks of the strong!
