Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will bring me to Edom?

They repay my love with accusations, but I continue to pray.

For I am oppressed and needy, and my heart beats violently within me.

Help me, O Lord my God! Because you are faithful to me, deliver me!

His house contains wealth and riches; his integrity endures.

For he will never be upended; others will always remember one who is just.

ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell,

O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector.

He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old.

I love the Lord because he heard my plea for mercy,

The Lord protects the untrained; I was in serious trouble and he delivered me.

Praise the Lord, all you nations! Applaud him, all you foreigners!

The Lord severely punished me, but he did not hand me over to death.

I will meditate on your precepts and focus on your behavior.

I find delight in your statutes; I do not forget your instructions.

I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

I remember your name during the night, O Lord, and I will keep your law.

Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, but now I keep your instructions.

You are good and you do good. Teach me your statutes!

May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.
