To the Chief Musician: with stringed Instruments. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And do not hide thyself from my supplication:
2 to listen [emph?] to/for me and to answer me to roam in/on/with complaint my and to make noise
Attend unto me, and answer me, I may ramble in my complaining, And be driven to and fro—
3 from voice: sound enemy from face: because pressure wicked for to shake upon me evil: wickedness and in/on/with face: anger to hate me
Because of the noise of the enemy, By reason of the oppression of the lawless one, For they would let trouble drop upon me, And, in anger, would they entrap me.

My heart, would writhe within me, And, the terrors of Death, have fallen upon me:
5 fear and trembling to come (in): come in/on/with me and to cover me shuddering
Fear and trembling, would enter me, And there would have overwhelmed me—a horror!
6 and to say who? to give: if only! to/for me wing like/as dove to fly and to dwell
Then I said—Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:

Lo! I would take a distant flight, I would tarry in the wilderness. (Selah)

I would hasten mine escape, From rushing wind, from storm.
9 to swallow up Lord to divide tongue: language their for to see: see violence and strife in/on/with city
Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention in the city;
10 by day and night to turn: surround her upon wall her and evil: wickedness and trouble in/on/with entrails: among her
Day and night, they go round her, upon her walls, And, trouble and misery, are in her midst;
11 desire in/on/with entrails: among her and not to remove from street/plaza her oppression and deceit
Engulfing ruin, is in her midst, And there depart not from her broadway, oppression and deceit.
12 for not enemy to taunt me and to lift: bear not to hate me upon me to magnify and to hide from him
For it is, not an enemy, that reproacheth me, Or I could bear it, —Not one that hath hated me, who, against me, hath magnified himself, Or I might hide myself from him;
13 and you(m. s.) human like/as valuation my tame my and to know my
But it is, thou, a man esteemed as mine equal, mine associate, and mine acquaintance;
14 which together be sweet counsel in/on/with house: temple God to go: walk in/on/with throng
So that together have we been wont to find sweetness in counsel, In the house of God, used we to walk in the throng.

He hath completely redeemed my soul, out of the attack upon me, For, in multitudes, were they [in conflict] with me.
19 to hear: hear God and to afflict them and to dwell front: old (Selah) which nothing change to/for them and not to fear: revere God

He hath thrust forth his hands, against them he was wont to salute, he hath violated his covenant;
21 to smooth butter lip: word his and battle heart his be tender word his from oil and they(masc.) drawn sword
Smoother than curds, were [the words of] his mouth, But, war, was [in] his heart, —Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!
22 to throw upon LORD burden your and he/she/it to sustain you not to give: allow to/for forever: enduring to shake to/for righteous
Cast upon Yahweh thy lot, and, he, will sustain thee: He will not suffer, to times age-abiding, the righteous one to be shaken.
