Verse 1

In thee, O LORD{H3068}, do I put my trust{H2620}{H8804)}: let me never{H408}{H5769} be put to confusion{H954}{H8799)}.

Verse 2

Deliver{H5337}{H8686)} me in thy righteousness{H6666}, and cause me to escape{H6403}{H8762)}: incline{H5186}{H8685)} thine ear{H241} unto me, and save{H3467}{H8685)} me.

Verse 3

Be thou my strong{H6697} habitation{H4583}, whereunto I may continually{H8548} resort{H935}{H8800)}: thou hast given commandment{H6680}{H8765)} to save{H3467}{H8687)} me; for thou art my rock{H5553} and my fortress{H4686}.

Verse 4

Deliver{H6403}{H8761)} me, O my God{H430}, out of the hand{H3027} of the wicked{H7563}, out of the hand{H3709} of the unrighteous{H5765}{H8764)} and cruel man{H2556}{H8802)}.

Verse 5

For thou art my hope{H8615}, O Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}: thou art my trust{H4009} from my youth{H5271}.

Verse 6

By thee have I been holden up{H5564}{H8738)} from the womb{H990}: thou art he that took{H1491}{H8802)} me out of my mother's{H517} bowels{H4578}: my praise{H8416} shall be continually{H8548} of thee.

Verse 7

I am as a wonder{H4159} unto many{H7227}; but thou art my strong{H5797} refuge{H4268}.

Let my mouth{H6310} be filled{H4390}{H8735)} with thy praise{H8416} and with thy honour{H8597} all the day{H3117}.

Verse 9

Cast me not off{H7993}{H8686)} in the time{H6256} of old age{H2209}; forsake{H5800}{H8799)} me not when my strength{H3581} faileth{H3615}{H8800)}.

Verse 10

For mine enemies{H341}{H8802)} speak{H559}{H8804)} against me; and they that lay wait{H8104}{H8802)} for my soul{H5315} take counsel{H3289}{H8738)} together{H3162},

Verse 11

Saying{H559}{H8800)}, God{H430} hath forsaken{H5800}{H8804)} him: persecute{H7291}{H8798)} and take{H8610}{H8798)} him; for there is none to deliver{H5337}{H8688)} him.

Verse 12

O God{H430}, be not far{H7368}{H8799)} from me: O my God{H430}, make haste{H2363}{H8798)}{H8675)}{H2439} for my help{H5833}.

Verse 13

Let them be confounded{H954}{H8799)} and consumed{H3615}{H8799)} that are adversaries{H7853}{H8802)} to my soul{H5315}; let them be covered{H5844}{H8799)} with reproach{H2781} and dishonour{H3639} that seek{H1245}{H8764)} my hurt{H7451}.

Verse 14

But I will hope{H3176}{H8762)} continually{H8548}, and will yet praise{H8416} thee more{H3254}{H8689)} and more{H3254}{H8689)}.

Verse 15

My mouth{H6310} shall shew forth{H5608}{H8762)} thy righteousness{H6666} and thy salvation{H8668} all the day{H3117}; for I know{H3045}{H8804)} not the numbers{H5615} thereof.

Verse 16

I will go in{H935}{H8799)} the strength{H1369} of the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}: I will make mention{H2142}{H8686)} of thy righteousness{H6666}, even of thine only.

Verse 17

O God{H430}, thou hast taught{H3925}{H8765)} me from my youth{H5271}: and hitherto have I declared{H5046}{H8686)} thy wondrous works{H6381}{H8737)}.

Verse 18

Now also when{H5704} I am old{H2209} and grayheaded{H7872}, O God{H430}, forsake{H5800}{H8799)} me not; until I have shewed{H5046}{H8686)} thy strength{H2220} unto this generation{H1755}, and thy power{H1369} to every one that is to come{H935}{H8799)}.

Verse 19

Thy righteousness{H6666} also, O God{H430}, is very high{H4791}, who hast done{H6213}{H8804)} great things{H1419}: O God{H430}, who is like unto thee!

Verse 20

Thou, which hast shewed{H7200}{H8689)} me great{H7227} and sore{H7451} troubles{H6869}, shalt quicken{H2421}{H8762)} me again{H7725}{H8799)}, and shalt bring me up{H5927}{H8686)} again{H7725}{H8799)} from the depths{H8415} of the earth{H776}.

Verse 21

Thou shalt increase{H7235}{H8686)} my greatness{H1420}, and comfort{H5162}{H8762)} me on every side{H5437}{H8735)}.

Verse 22

I will also praise{H3034}{H8686)} thee with the psaltery{H3627}{H8676)}{H5035}, even thy truth{H571}, O my God{H430}: unto thee will I sing{H2167}{H8762)} with the harp{H3658}, O thou Holy One{H6918} of Israel{H3478}.

Verse 23

My lips{H8193} shall greatly rejoice{H7442}{H8762)} when I sing{H2167}{H8762)} unto thee; and my soul{H5315}, which thou hast redeemed{H6299}{H8804)}.

Verse 24

My tongue{H3956} also shall talk{H1897}{H8799)} of thy righteousness{H6666} all the day{H3117} long: for they are confounded{H954}{H8804)}, for they are brought unto shame{H2659}{H8804)}, that seek{H1245}{H8764)} my hurt{H7451}.
