1 In You, O LORD, I put my trust;
Let me never be put to
shame.
2 Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause
me to escape;
Incline Your ear to me,
and save me.
3 Be my strong refuge,
To which I may resort
continually;
You have given the
commandment to save me,
For You are my
rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the
wicked,
Out of the hand of the
unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;
You are my trust
from my youth.
6 By You I have been upheld from birth;
You are He who took me
out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be
continually of You.
7 I have become as a wonder to many,
But You are my
strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
And with Your
glory all the day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
Do not forsake me when my
strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
And those who lie in wait
for my life take counsel together,
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him;
Pursue and take him, for there
is none to deliver him.”
12 O God, do not be far from me;
O my God, make haste to
help me!
13 Let them be confounded and consumed
Who are adversaries of my
life;
Let them be covered with
reproach and dishonor
Who seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually,
And will praise You yet
more and more.
15 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation
all the day,
For I do not know their
limits.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD;
I will make mention of
Your righteousness, of Yours only.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth;
And to this day I
declare Your wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and
grayheaded,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your
strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who
is to come.
