| 1 | For the Leader. A Psalm of David. |
| 2 | In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Thy righteousness. |
| 3 | Incline Thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily; Be Thou to me a rock of refuge, even a fortress of defence, to save me. |
| 4 | For Thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for Thy name's sake lead me and guide me. |
| 5 | Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; For Thou art my stronghold. |
| 6 | Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, Thou God of truth. |
| 7 | I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in the LORD. |
| 8 | I will be glad and rejoice in Thy lovingkindness; For Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast taken cognizance of the troubles of my soul, |
| 9 | And Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a broad place. |
| 10 | Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I am in distress; Mine eye wasteth away with vexation, yea, my soul and my body. |
| 11 | For my life is spent in sorrow, and my years in sighing; My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away. |
| 12 | Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a dread to mine acquaintance; They that see me without flee from me. |
| 13 | I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind; I am like a useless vessel. |
| 14 | For I have heard the whispering of many, Terror on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life. |
| 15 | But as for me, I have trusted in Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art my God.' |
| 16 | My times are in Thy hand; Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. |
| 17 | Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; Save me in Thy lovingkindness. |
| 18 | O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon Thee; Let the wicked be ashamed, let them be put to silence in the nether-world. |
| 19 | Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous, With pride and contempt. |
| 20 | Oh how abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; Which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of the sons of men! |
| 21 | Thou hidest them in the covert of Thy presence from the plottings of man; Thou concealest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. |
| 22 | Blessed be the LORD; For He hath shown me His wondrous lovingkindness in an entrenched city. |
| 23 | As for me, I said in my haste: 'I am cut off from before Thine eyes'; Nevertheless Thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto Thee. |
| 24 | O love the LORD, all ye His godly ones; The LORD preserveth the faithful, And plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily. |
| 25 | Be strong, and let your heart take courage, All ye that wait for the LORD. |
