[1]In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me never be ashamed.
[2]Rescue me and deliver me in thy righteousness: incline thine ear unto me and save me.
[3]Be thou my strong rock, where unto I may alway resort: thou hast given commandment to save me: for thou art my rock, and my fortress.
[4]Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked: out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
[5]For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, even my trust from my youth.
[6]Upon thee have I been stayed from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be always of thee.
[7]I am become as it were a monster unto many: but thou art my sure trust.
[8]Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory every day.
[9]Cast me not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.
[10]For mine enemies speak of me, and they that lay wait for my soul, take their counsel together,
[11]Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
[12]Go not far from me, O God: my God, haste thee to help me.
[13]Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soul: let them be covered with reproof and confusion, that seek mine hurt.
[14]But I will wait continually, and will praise thee more and more.
[15]My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousness, and thy salvation: for I know not the number.
[16]I will go forward in the strength of the Lord God, and will make mention of thy righteousness , even of thine only.
[17]O God, thou hast taught me from my youth even until now: therefore will I tell of thy wondrous works,
[18]Yea, even unto mine old age and gray head, O God: forsake me not, until I have declared thine arm unto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come.
[19]And thy righteousness, O God, I will exalt on high: for thou hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
[20]Which hast showed me great troubles and adversities, but thou wilt return and revive me, and wilt come again, and take me up from the depth of the earth.
[21]Thou wilt increase mine honor, and return and comfort me.
[22]Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulness, O God, upon instrument and viol: unto thee will I sing upon the harp, O Holy One of Israel.
[23]My lips will rejoice when I sing unto thee, and my soul, which thou hast delivered.
[24]My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness daily: for they are confounded and brought unto shame, that seek mine hurt.
