Translation By Dr . Malachi Z . York ..... ( Hear My Tefillaw Prayer )

To the conductor musician on Neginoth , Maschil '' a poem of intelligence '' , a song of David '' the beloved '' when the Ziphims '' smelters '' , inhabitant of Ziph came and said to Saul '' desired '' doesn't David Sawthar '' Conceal ' himdelf with us ? Yawshah '' Save ' me , O Eloheem , by your name and Deen '' Judge ' me by your Ghebooraw '' Might ' .

Hear my Tefillaw '' Prayer '' , O Eloheem ; give ear to the words of my mouth . For Zoor '' Strangers '' rise up against me , and fiercely seek after my Nehfesh '' Spirit '' ; they have not Soom '' Placed ' Eloheem in front of them . Selah '' fall down and pray ''

Lo , Eloheem is my Awazar '' Helper '' ; the Adonai '' master '' is with those who Sawmak '' Upholds '' my Nehfesh '' Spirit '' . He will return Rah '' Disagreeable ' unto my Shawrar '' Enemies ; Sawmath '' Put An End to them in your Elmeth '' Truth '' . I will Zawbakh '' Sacrifice
freely unto you ; I will praise your name , O A Yahuwa ( Yahuwa not the Yahuwa ) ,

for it is Tobe '' Agreeable ' . For He Has Nawstal '' Delivered ' me out of all of my Tsawraw '' Troubles ; and my Ahyin '' Eyes '' Have Seen It Upon My Oyabe '' Enemies '' .
