1: To David.
Yehoweh my light and my salvation (va- Ishi). Whom am I fearing?
Yehoweh my life’s stronghold.
Whom am I dreading?
2: Flesh- eating Wickedness-makers coming against me? Opposing narrow-minded? Them? They tottered and fell.
3: if an encampment (Makneh) encamps (thikneh) against me, my heart does not fear.
If a battle arises against me, through this I am trusting.
4: To sojourn in the house of Yehoweh is the one thing I begged of Yehoweh, the very thing I am demanding, To behold the beauty of YHWH all of the days of my life, To inquire in His palace.
5: For He makes me to hide in His Sukkoth (hut, covering, pavilion, tabernacle).
On an evil or disagreeable day, He is hiding me in a secret tent (ahello – tabernacle) on Rock, lifting me up.
6: And thus my head, it is lifted up above my surrounding enemies. And in His tent I will sacrifice – slaughter sacrifices of Joy (THRUAH).
I will sing and I will make (instrumental) music to Yehoweh.
7: Hear Yehoweh – my voice is calling out.
And have mercy on me (Vey chanaeni)
And answer me (Vey anaeyni)
8: my heart is speaking to you
My face is demanding Your face
9: Don’t make your face to hide from me.
Don’t turn away in a temper (nostril flare) from your servant.
You have been my help.
Dont you leave me
Dont you forsake me
My God, My Jesus (salvation).
10: When my father and my mother departed from me (azbooni)
And Yehoweh (is and will) gather me up (yasfeni)
11: Yehoweh, cause me to aim towards Your Way –
because there are my treacherous onlookers – guide me to an upright (level) path.
12: don’t give me to narrow minded souls if(when) they stand up as false witnesses against me and breathe violence (Hamas).
13: If I had not got confirmed (got Amen-ed) to see the goodness of God in the land of the living
14: Wait (Kahvey) on Yehoweh
Be courageous – He strengthens your heart.
And wait (Vey-Kahveh) on Yehoweh.
(PS Jer 29:11 Tikvah (hope) is based on Kaveh (wait))
