| 1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | 1 LORD, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced. |
| 2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. | 2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely 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 a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress. |
| 4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 4Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive. |
| 5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. | 5For You are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence 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. | 6I have leaned on You from birth; You took me from my mother's womb. My praise is always about You. |
| 7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7I have become an ominous sign 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 full of praise and honor to You all day long. |
| 9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | 9Don't discard me in my old age; as my strength fails, do not abandon me. |
| 10For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, | 10For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together, |
| 11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11saying, "God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue him." |
| 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry 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 adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who seek my harm be covered with disgrace and humiliation. |
| 14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14But I will hope continually and will praise You 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 about Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up. |
| 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 16I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone. |
| 17O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. | 17God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works. |
| 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. | 18Even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your power to another generation, Your strength to all who are to come. |
| 19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19Your righteousness reaches heaven, God, You who have done great things; 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 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. |
| 21You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once 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. | 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. |
| 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 praise to You because You have redeemed me. |
| 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. | 24Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded. |
