1 | In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to
confusion. |
|
2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
|
3 | Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art
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 | For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my
youth. |
|
6 | By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that
took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be
continually of thee. |
|
7 | I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
|
8 | Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all
the day. |
|
9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my
strength faileth. |
|
10 | For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for
my soul take counsel together, |
|
11 | Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
there is none to deliver him. |
|
12 | O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. |
|
13 | Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my
soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that
seek my hurt. |
|
14 | But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and
more. |
|
15 | My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. |
|
16 | I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention
of thy righteousness, even of thine only. |
|
17 | O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I
declared thy wondrous works. |
|
18 | Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy
power to every one that is to come. |
|
19 | Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done
great things: O God, who is like unto thee! |
|
20 | Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths
of the earth. |
|
21 | Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
side. |
|
22 | I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O
my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One
of Israel. |
|
23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my
soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
|
24 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto
shame, that seek my hurt. |
