¹ In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.² Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.³ Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; ⁴ O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.⁵ For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.⁶ Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is 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 glory all the day.⁹ Cast me not off in the time of old age; when my strength faileth, forsake me not.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 confusion that seek my hurt.

¹⁴ But as for me, 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 Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only.¹⁷ O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; and until now do I declare Thy wondrous works.¹⁸ And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; ¹⁹ Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; ²⁰ Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, ²¹ Thou wilt increase my greatness, and turn and comfort me.²² I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, even unto Thy truth, O my God; ²³ My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; and my soul, which Thou hast redeemed.²⁴ My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; {P}
