Revision as of 10:13, 11 July 2023

• 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 habitation, that I may resort to continually; You have given a commandment to save me, because 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 Because You are my hope, O LORD GOD; You are my trust from my youth.

• 6 By You I have been held up from the womb; You are He who took me out of my mother’s belly. My praise will be continually of You.

• 7 I am like become a wonder to many, but You are my strong refuge.

• 8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day.

• 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

• 10 Since my enemies speak against me; and those who lie in wait for my soul take counsel together,

• 11 Saying, “God has forsaken him; persecute and take him, as there is none to deliver him.”

• 12 O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hurry to help me!

• 13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries of my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

• 14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise You more and more.

• 15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day, because I do not know the sum of them.

• 16 I will go in the strength of the LORD GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, specifically of Yours alone.

• 17 O God, You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I have declared Your wondrous works.

• 18 Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, until I have revealed Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.

• 19 Also Your righteousness , O God, is very high, who that has done great things; O God, who is like You?

• 20 You, who have shown me great and intense troubles, will make me alive 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 I will also praise you with the psaltery, even your truth, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.

• 23 My lips will greatly rejoice when I sing to You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.

• 24 My tongue will also talk of Your righteousness all the day long; because they are confounded, because they are brought to shame who seek my hurt.
