Sorrow, Self, Sea .....

"Save me Hashem, for the waters have reached the point of taking my soul." 

~ Tehilla 69.2 ~   Parshah Naso.

For the Conductor, on Yonath Elem Rehokim, 

Of David,  A Michtam .....when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

 

Be gracious to me, O Ha'Shem, because men yearn to swallow me, all day long the warrior oppresseth me
Those who eye me have yearned to swallow me all day long, for many fight against me, 

Ha'Shem Most High
In the day I fear, I will hope to You.
With Ha'Shem, I will praise His word .... in Ha'Shem I trusted, I will not fear. 

What can flesh do to me?

All the day they trouble mine affairs; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

They lodge, they hide, they watch my steps, when they hope for my life,

Because of iniquity cast them out, in anger bring down the peoples, O Ha'Shem, my G*d
Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy accounting?
Then my enemies will retreat on the day that I call. Thereby I will know that I have a G*d.

With Ha'Shems justice I will praise a word, with Ha'Shem's kindness I will praise a word.
In Ha'Shem do I trust, I will not be afraid, what can man do unto me?
Thy vows are upon me, Ha'Shem, I will render thank-offerings unto Thee.
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death ~ hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling?
that I may walk before Ha'Shem in the light of the living.
