Hegesippus
[By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive.]
[1] O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame. [No book]
[2]In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me: incline thine ear to me, and save me. [No book]
[3]Be to me a protecting God, and a strong hold to save me: for thou art my fortress and my refuge. [No book]
[4]Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man. [No book]
[5]For thou art my support, O Lord; O Lord, thou art my hope from my youth. [No book]
[6]On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually. [No book]
[7]I am become as it were a wonder to many: but thou art my strong helper. [No book]
[8]Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may hymn thy glory, and thy majesty all the day. [No book]
[9]Cast me not off at the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails. [No book]
[10]For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together, [No book]
[11]saying, God has forsaken him: persecute ye and take him; for there is none to deliver him. [No book]
[12]O God, go not far from me, O my God, draw nigh to my help. [No book]
[13]Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour. [No book]
[14]But I will hope continually, and will praise thee more and more. [No book]
[15]My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, and thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs of men. [No book]
[16]I will go on in the might of the Lord: O Lord, I will make mention of thy righteousness only. [No book]
[17]O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and until now will I declare thy wonders; [No book]
[18]even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come: [No book]
[19]even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest heavens, even the mighty works which thou has done: O God, who is like to thee? [No book]
[20]What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth. [No book]
[21]Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth. [No book]
[22]I will also therefore give thanks to thee, O God, because of thy truth, on an instrument of psalmody: I will sing psalms to thee on the harp, O Holy One of Israel. [No book]
[23]My lips shall rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. [No book]
[24]Moreover also my tongue shall dwell all the day upon thy righteousness; when they shall be ashamed and confounded that seek my hurt. [No book]
