| 1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | 1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! |
| 2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. | 2In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! |
| 3Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment 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, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 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; You are my trust from my youth. | 5For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth. |
| 6By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of 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 as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. |
| 8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. | 8My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. |
| 9Do not cast me off in the time of 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 take counsel together, | 10For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together |
| 11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.” |
| 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! |
| 13Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. | 13May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. |
| 14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. |
| 15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. | 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 go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 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 declare Your wondrous works. | 17O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. |
| 18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is 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. |
| 19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? |
| 20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 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 shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | 21You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. |
| 22Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, 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. |
| 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And 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 also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. | 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. |
