The Psalms of Thanksgiving To YAHWEH
4
YAHWEH's Eye Is Ever Watching Over My Soul
I
give thanks unto Thee, O YAHWEH,
for
Thine eye is ever awake, watching over my soul.
Thou
hast delivered me
from
envy of them that preach falsehood,
and
hast freed this hapless soul
from
the congregation of them
that
seek smooth things
-men
who sought to destroy me
and
spill my blood in Thy service.
Little
did they know
that
my steps were ordered of Thee,
when
they made me a mock and a reproach
in
the mouths of all men of deceit.
But
ever, O YAHWEH,
hast
Thou holpen the needy and weak
and
snatched him from the grasp
of
him that was stronger than he.
So
hast Thou freed my soul
from
the grasp of mighty men,
nor
suffered me so to be crushed by their taunts
that
for fear of the mischief which the wicked might wreak
I
should forsake Thy service,
or
change for wild delusion
the
sound spirit which Thou hast vouchsafed me.
