1In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust:
let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness,
and cause me to escape: incline
thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation,
whereunto I may continually resort:
thou hast given commandment to
save me; for thou art 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 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 Let my mouth 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 against me;
and they that lay wait for my soul take
counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him:
persecute and take him; for there is
none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me:
O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded 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 yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy
righteousness and thy salvation
all the day; for I know not the
numbers thereof.
16 I will go in the strength 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 Now also when I am old and
greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
until I have shewed thy strength unto
this generation, and thy power to
every one that is to come.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is
very high, who hast done great things:
O God, who is like unto thee!
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great
and sore troubles, shalt quicken me
again, and shalt bring me up again
from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness,
and comfort me on every side.
22 I 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.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing
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 confounded,
for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
King James Version (KJV)
