1 I n You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.

2 I n Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.

3 B e to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

4 R escue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

5 F or You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth.

6 B y You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is continually of You.

7 I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.

8 M y mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.

9 D o not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

10 F or my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,

11 S aying, “ God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”

12 O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!

13 L et those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

14 B ut as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

15 M y mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.

16 I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

18 A nd even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

19 F or Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?

20 Y ou who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 M ay You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.

22 I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

23 M y lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.

24 M y tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
