| | 1 | In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. | |
| | 2 | Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me. | |
| | 3 | Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. | |
| | 4 | Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men. | |
| | 5 | For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth. | |
| | 6 | From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you. | |
| | 7 | I have become like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. | |
| | 8 | My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long. | |
| | 9 | Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone. | |
| | 10 | For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together. | |
| | 11 | They say, "God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him." | |
| | 12 | Be not far from me, O God; come quickly, O my God, to help me. | |
| | 13 | May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace. | |
| | 14 | But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. | |
| | 15 | My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. | |
| | 16 | I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. | |
| | 17 | Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. | |
| | 18 | Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come. | |
| | 19 | Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? | |
| | 20 | Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. | |
| | 21 | You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. | |
| | 22 | I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. | |
| | 23 | My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you--I, whom you have redeemed. | |
| | 24 | My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion. | |
