1 I n You, O Lord, do I put my trust and confidently take refuge; let me never be put to shame or confusion!

2 D eliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; bow down Your ear to me and save me!

3 B e to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell, and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually resort, which You have appointed to save me, for You are my Rock and my Fortress.

4 R escue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.

5 F or You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my trust from my youth and the source of my confidence.

6 U pon You have I leaned and relied from birth; You are He Who took me from my mother’s womb and You have been my benefactor from that day. My praise is continually of You.

7 I am as a wonder and surprise to many, but You are my strong refuge.

8 M y mouth shall be filled with Your praise and with Your honor all the day.

9 C ast me not off nor send me away in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent and my powers fail.

10 F or my enemies talk against me; those who watch for my life consult together,

11 S aying, God has forsaken him; pursue and persecute and take him, for there is none to deliver him.

12 O God, be not far from me! O my God, make haste to help me!

13 L et them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my life; let them be covered with reproach, scorn, and dishonor who seek and require my hurt.

14 B ut I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more.

15 M y mouth shall tell of Your righteous acts and of Your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is more than I know.

16 I will come in the strength and with the mighty acts of the Lord God; I will mention and praise Your righteousness, even Yours alone.

17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I declared Your wondrous works.

18 Y es, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared Your mighty strength to generation, and Your might and power to all that are to come.

19 Y our righteousness also, O God, is very high, You Who have done great things; O God, who is like You, or who is Your equal?

20 Y ou Who have shown us troubles great and sore will quicken us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

21 I ncrease my greatness (my honor) and turn and comfort me.

22 I will also praise You with the harp, even Your truth and faithfulness, O my God; unto You will I sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

23 M y lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to You, and my inner being, which You have redeemed.

24 M y tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; for they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek and demand my hurt.
