1. In Thee, Hashem, do I put my trust; let me not be put to shame l'olam.
2. Deliver me in Thy tzedakah, and cause me to escape; incline Thine ear unto me, and hoshi'eini (save me).
3. Be Thou Tzur Ma'on (a rock of habitation), whereunto I may resort tamid (continually); Thou hast given commandment to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
4. Deliver me, O Elohai, out of the yad of the rasha, out of the palm of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5. For Thou art my tikveh (hope), Adonoi Hashem; Thou art my trust from my youth.
6. By Thee have I been upheld from the beten (womb); Thou art He that took me out of the womb of immi; my tehillah (praise) shall be of Thee tamid (continually).
7. I am as a mofet (portent) unto rabbim (many); but Thou art my strong refuge.
8. Let my mouth be filled with Thy tehillah (praise) and with Thy tiferet (glory) kol hayom.
9. Cast me not off in the time of ziknah (old age); forsake me not when my ko'ach faileth.
10. For mine oyevim speak against me; and they that lay in wait for my nefesh conspire together,
11. Saying, Elohim hath forsaken him; persecute and lay hold of him; for there is none to rescue him.
12. O Elohim, be not far from me; O Elohai, make haste for my help.
13. Let them be ashamed and consumed that are [satanic] adversaries to my nefesh; let them be covered with cherpah (reproach) and dishonor that seek my hurt.
