For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, O Jehovah,{H3068} do I take refuge;{H2620} Let me never{H408} be put to shame:{H954} Deliver{H6403} me in thy righteousness.{H6666}

Bow down{H5186} thine ear{H241} unto me; Deliver{H5337} me speedily:{H4120} Be thou to me a strong{H4581} rock,{H6697} A house{H1004} of defence{H4686} to save{H3467} me.

For thou art my rock{H5553} and my fortress;{H4686} Therefore for thy name's{H8034} sake lead{H5148} me and guide{H5095} me.

Pluck me out{H3318} of the net{H7568} that{H2098} they have laid privily{H2934} for me; For thou art my stronghold.{H4581}

Into thy hand{H3027} I commend{H6485} my spirit:{H7307} Thou hast redeemed{H6299} me, O Jehovah,{H3068} thou God{H410} of truth.{H571}

I hate{H8130} them that regard{H8104} lying{H7723} vanities;{H1892} But I trust{H982} in Jehovah.{H3068}

I will be glad{H1523} and rejoice{H8055} in thy lovingkindness;{H2617} For thou hast seen{H7200} my affliction:{H6040} Thou hast known{H3045} my soul{H5315} in adversities;{H6869}

And thou hast not shut me up{H5462} into the hand{H3027} of the enemy;{H341} Thou hast set{H5975} my feet{H7272} in a large place.{H4800}

Have mercy{H2603} upon me, O Jehovah,{H3068} for I am in distress:{H6887} Mine eye{H5869} wasteth{H6244} away with grief,{H3708} [yea], my soul{H5315} and my body.{H990}

For my life{H2416} is spent{H3615} with sorrow,{H3015} And my years{H8141} with sighing:{H585} My strength{H3581} faileth{H3782} because of mine iniquity,{H5771} And my bones{H6106} are wasted{H6244} away.

Because of all mine adversaries{H6887} I am become a reproach,{H2781} Yea, unto my neighbors{H7934} exceedingly,{H3966} And a fear{H6343} to mine acquaintance:{H3045} They that did see{H7200} me without{H2351} fled{H5074} from me.

I am forgotten{H7911} as a dead man{H4191} out of mind:{H3820} I am like a broken{H6} vessel.{H3627}

For I have heard{H8085} the defaming{H1681} of many,{H7227} Terror{H4032} on every side:{H5439} While they took counsel{H3245} together{H3162} against me, they devised{H2161} to take away{H3947} my life.{H5315}

But I trusted{H982} in thee, O Jehovah:{H3068} I said,{H559} Thou art my God.{H430}

My times{H6256} are in thy hand:{H3027} Deliver{H5337} me from the hand{H3027} of mine enemies,{H341} and from them that persecute{H7291} me.

Make thy face{H6440} to shine{H215} upon thy servant:{H5650} Save{H3467} me in thy lovingkindness.{H2617}

Let me not be put to shame,{H954} O Jehovah;{H3068} For I have called{H7121} upon thee: Let the wicked{H7563} be put to shame,{H954} let them be silent{H1826} in Sheol.{H7585}

Let the lying{H8267} lips{H8193} be dumb,{H481} Which speak{H1696} against the righteous{H6662} insolently,{H6277} With pride{H1346} and contempt.{H937}

Oh how great{H7227} is thy goodness,{H2898} Which thou hast laid up{H6845} for them that fear{H3373} thee, Which thou hast wrought{H6466} for them that take refuge{H2620} in thee, Before the sons{H1121} of men!{H120}

In the covert{H5643} of thy presence{H6440} wilt thou hide{H5641} them from the plottings{H7407} of man:{H376} Thou wilt keep them secretly{H6845} in a pavilion{H5521} from the strife{H7379} of tongues.{H3956}

Blessed{H1288} be Jehovah;{H3068} For he hath showed me his marvellous{H6381} lovingkindness{H2617} in a strong{H4692} city.{H5892}

As for me, I said{H559} in my haste,{H2648} I am cut off{H1629} from before{H5048} thine eyes:{H5869} Nevertheless{H403} thou heardest{H8085} the voice{H6963} of my supplications{H8469} When I cried{H7768} unto thee.

Oh love{H157} Jehovah,{H3068} all ye his saints:{H2623} Jehovah{H3068} preserveth{H5341} the faithful,{H539} And plentifully{H3499} rewardeth{H7999} him that dealeth{H6213} proudly.{H1346}

Be strong,{H553} and let your heart{H3824} take courage,{H2388} All ye that hope{H3176} in Jehovah.{H3068}
