For the music director; by David.
11:1 In the Lord I have taken shelter.
How can you say to me,
“Flee to a mountain like a bird!
11:2 For look, the wicked
they put their arrows on the strings,
to shoot in the darkness
11:3 When the foundations
what can the godly
11:4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes
his eyes
11:5 The Lord approves of
but he
11:6 May the Lord rain down
A whirlwind is what they deserve!
11:7 Certainly
he rewards godly deeds;
the upright will experience his favor.
For the music director; according to the sheminith style;
12:1 Deliver, Lord!
For the godly
people of integrity
12:2 People lie to one another;
they flatter and deceive.
12:3 May the Lord cut off
and the tongue that boasts!
12:4 They say,
we know how to flatter and boast.
Who is our master?”
12:5 “Because of the violence done to the oppressed,
because of the painful cries
I will spring into action,”
“I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”
12:6 The Lord’s words are absolutely reliable.
They are as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground,
where it is thoroughly refined.
12:7 You, Lord, will protect them;
you will continually shelter each one from these evil people,
12:8 for the wicked seem to be everywhere,
when people promote evil.
For the music director; a psalm of David.
13:1 How long, Lord, will you continue to ignore me?
How long will you pay no attention to me?
13:2 How long must I worry,
and suffer in broad daylight?
How long will my enemy gloat over me?
13:3 Look at me!
Revive me,
13:4 Then
Then
13:5 But I
May I rejoice because of your deliverance!
13:6 I will sing praises
when he vindicates me.
