[1] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be ashamed.
[2] Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me: bow down thine ear unto me, and save me.
[3] Be thou 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] Rescue 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] My mouth shall 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 concerning me; and they that watch for my soul take counsel together,
[11] Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
[12] O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste to help me.
[13] Let them be ashamed 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 praise thee yet more and more.
[15] My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, and of thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
[16] I will come with the mighty acts 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] Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have declared thy strength unto the next generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
[19] Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high; thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto thee?
[20] Thou, which hast shewed us many and sore troubles, shalt quicken us again, and shalt bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
[21] Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me.
[22] I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
[23] My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises 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 ashamed, for they are confounded, that seek my hurt.
