Berean Study BibleEnglish Standard Version
1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!
2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!
3Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.3Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.4Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.5For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
6I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.6Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.7I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.8My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day.
9Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,10For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together
11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”11and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.”
12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.12O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.13May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt.
14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.14But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.15My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.
16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.16With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.
17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.17O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.18So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?
20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.20You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.21You will increase my greatness and comfort me again.
22So 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.22I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.23My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed.
24My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.24And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.
