¹ To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear my prayer.

¹⁸ They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.

¹⁹ And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.

⁶ and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth,

⁷ keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third `generation', and on a fourth.'

¹⁶ And also He moved thee from a strait place, `To' a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.

⁶ I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.

⁶ In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, `Our Righteousness.'

¹⁹ Jehovah the Lord `is' my strength, And He doth make my feet like hinds, And on my high-places causeth me to tread. To the overseer with my stringed instruments!

⁶ A preserver of the simple `is' Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

¹⁶ Cause `it' to come, O Jehovah, for I `am' Thy servant. I `am' Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

⁷⁵ I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous `are' Thy judgments, And `in' faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

⁷⁶ Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.

⁷⁷ Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law `is' my delight.

¹³² Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those loving Thy name.

² And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

²⁴ Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those displeased with Him.

³⁰ and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

⁸ For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were exceedingly burdened above `our' power, so that we despaired even of life;

¹⁰ who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

²⁰ in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be ye reconciled to God;'

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

³ Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

⁵ For Thou, Lord, `art' good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
