| 1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | 1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. |

| 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 habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment 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, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, |
| 5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. | 5For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are 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. | 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 have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7I have become a marvel to many, For 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 day long. |
| 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; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. |
| 10For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, | 10For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together, |
| 11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver." |
| 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help! |
| 13Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. | 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 yet more and more. | 14But as for me, 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 shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them. |
| 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention 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, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare 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. | 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. |
| 19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O 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, 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 shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 21You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | 21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me. |
| 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 a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises 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; And my soul, 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. | 24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt. |
