| 2Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me. | 2Incline Your ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me. |
| 3For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me. | 3For You are my rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. |

| 8And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place. | 8And You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place. |
| 9Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body! | 9Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. |
| 10For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. | 10For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away. |
| 11I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me. | 11Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee from me. |

| 17Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave. | 17Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. |
| 18Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. | 18Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt. |
| 19Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! | 19How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men! |
| 20You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. | 20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues. |

| 22For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. | 22As for me, I said in my alarm, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried to You. |
| 23Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person. | 23O love the LORD, all you His godly ones! The LORD preserves the faithful And fully recompenses the proud doer. |
| 24Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD. | 24Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who hope in the LORD. |
