1
In You, O Lord, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.
2
Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3
Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are 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 You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.
6
By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother's womb. My praise shall be continually of You.
7
I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge.
8
Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day.
9
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10
For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
11
Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him."
12
O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
13
Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt.
14
But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
15
My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits.
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17
O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
18
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.
