| 1LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced. | 1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. |
| 2In your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me. | 2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me. |
| 3Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and fortress. | 3Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. |
| 4Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive. | 4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, |
| 5For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth. | 5For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth. |
| 6I have leaned on you from birth; you took me from my mother's womb. My praise is always about you. | 6By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You. |
| 7I am like a miraculous sign to many, and you are my strong refuge. | 7I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge. |
| 8My mouth is full of praise and honor to you all day long. | 8My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long. |
| 9Don't discard me in my old age. As my strength fails, do not abandon me. | 9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. |
| 10For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together, | 10For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together, |
| 11saying, "God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue him." | 11Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver." |
| 12God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me. | 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help! |
| 13May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who intend to harm me be covered with disgrace and humiliation. | 13Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me. |
| 14But I will hope continually and will praise you more and more. | 14But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. |
| 15My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up. | 15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. |
| 16I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. | 16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone. |
| 17God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim your wondrous works. | 17O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. |
| 18Even while I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, while I proclaim your power to another generation, your strength to all who are to come. | 18And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come. |
| 19Your righteousness reaches the heights, God, you who have done great things; God, who is like you? | 19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? |
| 20You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but you will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. | 20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. | 21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me. |
| 22Therefore, I will praise you with a harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing to you with a lyre, Holy One of Israel. | 22I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. |
| 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you because you have redeemed me. | 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. |
| 24Therefore, my tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long, for those who intend to harm me will be disgraced and confounded. | 24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt. |
