1. In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | |
2. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. | |
3. Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. | |
4. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | |
5. For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth. | |
6. By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You. | |
7. I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | |
8. Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. | |
9. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | |
10. For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, | |
11. Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him." | |
12. O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | |
13. Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. | |
14. But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | |
15. My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. | |
16. I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | |
17. O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. | |
18. Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. | |
19. Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | |
20. You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | |
21. You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | |
22. Also with the lute I will praise you-- And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. | |
23. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. | |
24. My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. |
