I cried to יהוה with my voice, And He heard me from His set-apart mountain. Selah.
After these events the word of יהוה came to Aḇ
You are my hiding place and my shield; I have waited for Your word.
On the day I called You did answer me, You made me bold with strength in my being.
I call upon יהוה, the One to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.
“But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain.”
And now my head is lifted up above my enemies all around me; And I offer in His Tent with shouts of joy; I sing, yea, I sing praises to יהוה.
יהוה is my strength, and my shield; My heart has trusted in Him, and I have been helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I thank Him.
I sought יהוה, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
This poor one cried out and יהוה heard him, And saved him out of all his distresses.
Send forth Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me, Let them bring me to Your set-apart mountain And to Your dwelling places.
“And call upon Me in the day of distress – Let Me rescue you, and you esteem Me.”
Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.
O יהוה of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Then You spoke in a vision to Your kind one, And You said, “I have given help to one who is mighty, I have exalted one chosen from the people.
“When he calls on Me, I answer him; I am with him in distress; I deliver him and esteem him.
Exalt יהוה our Elohim, And bow down towards His set-apart mountain; For יהוה our Elohim is set-apart.
And He treasures up stability for the straight, A shield to those walking blamelessly,
“And it shall be that before they call, I answer. And while they are still speaking, I hear.
You have heard my voice, Do not hide Your ear from my groaning, From my outcry!
“Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you.
Is any of you suffering evil? Let him pray. Is anyone in good spirits? Let him sing psalms.
