A plea for deliverance.
1 A worm does not thank You,
Nor does a maggot recount Your kindness.
2 Only the living thank You,
All those whose feet stumble thank You,
When You make Your kindness known to them,
And cause them to understand Your righteousness;
3 For the being of all the living is in Your hand,
And You have given breath to all flesh.
4 O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, do to us according to Your goodness,
According to the greatness of Your compassion,
And according to the greatness of Your righteous deeds.
5 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 listens to the voice of all who love His Name,
And He does not permit His kindness to depart from them.
6 Baruḵ be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, who does righteous deeds,
Who crowns His qodeshim with kindness and favours.
7 My being shouts to praise Your Name,
To praise Your compassion with joy,
To announce Your trustworthiness;
For there is no limit to Your praises.
8 I belonged to death because of my sins,
And my wickednesses had sold me to She’ol;
9 But You saved me, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
According to the greatness of Your compassion,
And according to the greatness of Your righteous deeds.
10 I have, indeed, loved Your Name,
And have taken refuge in Your shadow.
11 My heart is strengthened when I remember Your power,
And I rely on Your compassion.
12 Forgive my sins, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
And cleanse me of my wickedness.
13 Grant me a spirit of faithfulness and knowledge;
Let me not be ashamed in ruin.
14 Do not allow the wicked one or an unclean spirit to overtake me,
And do not allow affliction or evil inclination to possess my bones;
15 For You, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, are my praise,
And I wait on You every day.
16 My brothers rejoice with me,
And the house of my father is awed by Your favour.
17 I shall always rejoice in You.
