1 | In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed. |
2 | Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
3 | Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. |
4 | My God, rescue me 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 Jehovah, my confidence from my youth. |
6 | On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee. |
7 | I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. |
8 | My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, 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 watch for my soul consult together, |
11 | Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver. |
12 | O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help. |
13 | Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. |
14 | But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more. |
15 | My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof]. |
16 | I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone. |
17 | O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works: |
18 | Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come. |
19 | And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee? |
20 | Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth; |
21 | Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. |
22 | I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel. |
23 | My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
24 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt. |
