5 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.

In hand your I entrust spirit my you have redeemed me O Yahweh God of faithfulness.

6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.

8 And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.

And not you delivered up me in [the] hand of an enemy you made stand in roomy place feet my.

9 Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.

Show favor to me O Yahweh for it is distress to me it has wasted away with grief eye my being my and belly my.

10 For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.

For they have wasted away in sorrow life my and years my with groaning it has failed by iniquity my strength my and bones my they have wasted away.

11 Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without — fled from me.

From all opposers my I have become a reproach and to neighbors my - exceedingly and a dread to acquaintances my [those who] see me in the street they flee from me.

12 I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.

I have been forgotten like a dead [person] from [the] heart I have become like a vessel [which] is destroyed.

13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

For I have heard - [the] slander of many [people] terror [is] from around about when they seated themselves together on me to take life my they plotted.

14 And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, 'Thou [art] my God.'

And I - on you I rely O Yahweh I say [are] God my you.

15 In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.

16 Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.

Make shine! face your on servant your save me in covenant loyalty your.

17 O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

O Yahweh may not I be ashamed for I have called out to you may they be ashamed wicked [people] may they be silent to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

18 Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.

May they be dumb lips of falsehood which speak on [the] righteous arrogance with pride and contempt.

19 How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,

How! great [is] goodness your which you have stored up for [those] fearing you [which] you have done for [those who] take refuge in you before [the] children of humankind.

20 Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.

You hide them - in [the] hiding place of presence your from [the] conspiracies of man you hide them in a shelter from strife of tongues.

21 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.

[be] blessed Yahweh for he has made wonderful covenant loyalty his to me in a city of siege.

22 And I — I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.

And I - I said when was hastening I I have been cut off from before eyes your nevertheless you heard [the] sound of supplications my when cried for help I to you.

23 Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.

Love Yahweh O all faithful [people] his faithful [people] [is] preserving Yahweh and [is] repaying on excess [one who] does pride.

24 Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
