If you had not helped me, LORD, I would soon have gone to the land of silence.
The dead are silent and cannot praise the LORD,
Their attacks were so fierce that I nearly fell, but the LORD helped me.
Everyone who trusts the LORD is like Mount Zion that cannot be shaken and will stand for ever.
Please listen, LORD God, and answer my prayers. Make my eyes sparkle again, or else I will fall into the sleep of death.
I pray only to you. Don't disappoint me. Disappoint my cruel enemies until they lie silent in their graves.
The time will come and is already here when all of you will be scattered. Each of you will go back home and leave me by myself. But the Father will be with me, and I won't be alone.
