1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness. |
|
2 | Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. |
|
3 | For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's
sake lead me, and guide me. |
|
4 | Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for
thou art my strength. |
|
5 | Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
LORD God of truth. |
|
6 | I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in
the LORD. |
|
7 | I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; |
|
8 | And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a large room. |
|
9 | Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. |
|
10 | For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my
strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are
consumed. |
|
11 | I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among
my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did
see me without fled from me. |
|
12 | I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken
vessel. |
|
13 | For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me, they devised to
take away my life. |
|
14 | But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. |
|
15 | My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine
enemies, and from them that persecute me. |
|
16 | Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
mercies' sake. |
|
17 | Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the
grave. |
|
18 | Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous
things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. |
|
19 | Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them
that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in
thee before the sons of men! |
|
20 | Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from
the strife of tongues. |
|
21 | Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness in a strong city. |
|
22 | For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when
I cried unto thee. |
|
23 | O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth
the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. |
|
24 | Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye
that hope in the LORD. |
