⁶ I hate those who ^(M)regard worthless idols,
But I ^(N)trust in Yahweh.
⁷ I will ^(O)rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have ^(P)seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,
⁸ And You have not ^(Q)given me over into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a large place.

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for ^(R)I am in distress;
My ^(S)eye is wasted away from grief, ^(T)my soul and ^[c]my body also.
¹⁰ For my life is worn down with ^(U)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My ^(V)strength fails because of my iniquity,
And ^(W)my bones waste away.
¹¹ Among all my adversaries, I have become a ^(X)reproach,
Especially to my ^(Y)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
¹² I am ^(Z)forgotten like a dead man—out of ^[d]mind—
I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ For I have heard ^[e](AA)the bad report of many,
^(AB)Terror is on every side;
While they ^(AC)took counsel together against me,
They ^(AD)schemed to take my life.

¹⁴ But as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh,
I say, “^(AE)You are my God.”
¹⁵ My ^(AF)times are in Your hand;
^(AG)Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.
¹⁶ Make Your ^(AH)face to shine upon Your slave;
^(AI)Save me in Your lovingkindness.
¹⁷ O Yahweh, let me not be ^(AJ)put to shame, for I call upon You;
Let the ^(AK)wicked be put to shame, let them ^(AL)be silent in Sheol.
¹⁸ Let the ^(AM)lying lips be mute,
Which ^(AN)speak arrogantly against the righteous
With lofty pride and contempt.

¹⁹ How great is Your ^(AO)goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have worked for those who ^(AP)take refuge in You,
^(AQ)Before the sons of men!
²⁰ You hide them in the ^(AR)secret place of Your presence from the ^(AS)conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a ^[f]shelter from the ^(AT)strife of tongues.
^21 (AU)Blessed be Yahweh,
For He has made ^(AV)marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged ^(AW)city.
²² As for me, ^(AX)I said in my alarm,
“I am ^(AY)cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless, You ^(AZ)heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You for help.

²³ Oh, love Yahweh, all you ^(BA)His holy ones!
Yahweh ^(BB)guards the faithful
But ^(BC)repays fully the one who acts in lofty pride.
^24 (BD)Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for Yahweh.
