Verse 1 In you, Lord, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed. Verse 2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me. Verse 3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Verse 4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. Verse 5 For you are my hope, Lord God; my confidence from my youth. Verse 6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother's womb. I will always praise you. Verse 7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge. Verse 8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day. Verse 9 Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails. Verse 10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together, Verse 11 saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him." Verse 12 God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me. Verse 13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me. Verse 14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise. Verse 15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure. Verse 16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord God. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone. Verse 17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works. Verse 18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come. Verse 19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you? Verse 20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth. Verse 21 Increase my honor, and comfort me again. Verse 22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. Verse 23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! Verse 24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
