4 They are many - more than [the] hairs of head my [those who] hate me without cause they are numerous [those who] destroy me enemies my falsehood [that] which not I stole then I will return.
More than the hairs of my head are those who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?

O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
6 May not they be ashamed in me - [those who] wait for you O Lord Yahweh of hosts may not they be humiliated in me [those who] seek you O God of Israel.
Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.

9 For [the] zeal of house your it has consumed me and [the] reproaches of [those who] reproach you they have fallen on me.
It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.

13 And I prayer my [is] to you - O Yahweh a time of favor O God in [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your answer me in [the] faithfulness of salvation your.
But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favor. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me

from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
15 May not it overflow me - a flood of water and may not it swallow up me [the] deep and may not it close over me [the] pit mouth its.
that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.

Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.

24 Pour out on them indignation your and [the] burning of anger your may it overtake them.
Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
25 May it be encampment their made desolate in tents their may not anyone be dwelling.
May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
