Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit

^1 (C1)In You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge;
Let me never ^(C2)be ashamed;
^(C3)In Your righteousness protect me.

^2 (C1)Incline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly;
Be to me a ^(C2)rock of ^(F1)strength,
A fortress to save me.

³ For You are my ^(F1)(C1)high rock and my fortress;
For ^(C2)Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me.

⁴ You will ^(C1)bring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
For You are my ^(C2)strength.

^5 (C1)Into Your hand I commit my spirit;
You have ^(C2)ransomed me, O Yahweh, ^(C3)God of truth.

⁶ I hate those who ^(C1)regard worthless idols,
But I ^(C2)trust in Yahweh.

⁷ I will ^(C1)rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have ^(C2)seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,

⁸ And You have not ^(C1)given me over into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a large place.

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for ^(C1)I am in distress;
My ^(C2)eye is wasted away from grief, ^(C3)my soul and ^(F1)my body also.

¹⁰ For my life is worn down with ^(C1)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My ^(C2)strength fails because of my iniquity,
And ^(C3)my bones waste away.

¹¹ Among all my adversaries, I have become a ^(C1)reproach,
Especially to my ^(C2)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.

¹² I am ^(C1)forgotten like a dead man—out of ^(F1)mind—
I am like a broken vessel.

¹³ For I have heard ^(F1)(C1)the bad report of many,
^(C2)Terror is on every side;
While they ^(C3)took counsel together against me,
They ^(C4)schemed to take my life.

¹⁴ But as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh,
I say, "^(C1)You are my God."

¹⁵ My ^(C1)times are in Your hand;
^(C2)Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.

¹⁶ Make Your ^(C1)face to shine upon Your slave;
^(C2)Save me in Your lovingkindness.

¹⁷ O Yahweh, let me not be ^(C1)put to shame, for I call upon You;
Let the ^(C2)wicked be put to shame, let them ^(C3)be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸ Let the ^(C1)lying lips be mute,
Which ^(C2)speak arrogantly against the righteous
With lofty pride and contempt.

¹⁹ How great is Your ^(C1)goodness,
Which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Which You have worked for those who ^(C2)take refuge in You,
^(C3)Before the sons of men!

²⁰ You hide them in the ^(C1)secret place of Your presence from the ^(C2)conspiracies of man;
You keep them secretly in a ^(F1)shelter from the ^(C3)strife of tongues.

^21 (C1)Blessed be Yahweh,
For He has made ^(C2)marvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged ^(C3)city.

²² As for me, ^(C1)I said in my alarm,
"I am ^(C2)cut off from before Your eyes";
Nevertheless, You ^(C3)heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried to You for help.

²³ Oh, love Yahweh, all you ^(C1)His holy ones!
Yahweh ^(C2)guards the faithful
But ^(C3)repays fully the one who acts in lofty pride.

^24 (C1)Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who wait for Yahweh.
