1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me
never be put to confusion.
2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause
me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save
me.
3Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I
may continually resort: thou hast given commandment
to save me; for thou art my
rock and my fortress.
4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the
wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel
man.
5For thou art my
hope, O Lord GOD: thou
art my trust from my youth.
6By 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.
7I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my
strong refuge.
8Let my mouth be filled with thy
praise and
with thy honour all the day.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10For mine enemies speak against me; and they
that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute
and take him; for there
is none to deliver him.
12O God, be not far from me: O my God, make
haste for my help.
13Let them be confounded and consumed
that are adversaries to my soul; let them be
covered with reproach
and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14But I will hope continually, and will yet
praise thee more and more.
15My mouth shall shew forth thy
righteousness and thy
salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD:
I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of
thine only.
17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth:
and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O
God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy
strength unto this generation, and thy
power to every one that is
to come.
19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very
high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like
unto thee!
20Thou,
which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt
quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from
the depths of the earth.
21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and
comfort me on every side.
22I 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.
23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing
unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24My 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.
