Unless Jehovah had been my help,\par\tab My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee:\par\tab Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;\par\tab But Jehovah helped me.
The dead praise not Jehovah,\par\tab Neither any that go down into silence;
Consider {\i and} answer me, O Jehovah my God:\par\tab Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the {\i sleep of} death;
{\b A Song of Ascents.}\par\par\tab They that trust in Jehovah\par\tab Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever.
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and {\i yet} I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
