P. 46

ע Eyes ever directed toward you, my Godde,

              you free me from that which binds me.
            פ Please turn to me, have mercy on me,
              for I am alone and afflicted.

            צ Save me from this ominous crisis;
              my heart is deeply distressed.

            ר Release me from my affliction and suffering;
              forgive my failures to offer compassion.

              I am overwhelmed by injustice and hatred!
            ש Shower me with your protection; don't disappoint me

              for you are my refuge.
            ת Towers of integrity and righteousness watch over me;

              for I look to you, O Godde,
              you rescue your people from all their distress.










































            _______
            This psalm is an acrostic poem, each line begins with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, so I set myself the
            challenge of recreating the psalmist's acrostic using the equivalent (or near equivalent) sound in English. Note: there was
            no  “qof” listed in this psalm as found in the TANAKH of the Jewish Publication Society.
