| 1 | In Thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed. |
| 2 | Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; Incline Thine ear unto me, and save me. |
| 3 | Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, Which Thou hast appointed to save me; For Thou art my rock and my fortress. |
| 4 | O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man. |
| 5 | For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth. |
| 6 | Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; My praise is continually of Thee. |
| 7 | I am as a wonder unto many; But Thou art my strong refuge. |
| 8 | My mouth shall be filled with Thy praise, And with Thy glory all the day. . |
| 9 | Cast me not off in the time of old age; When my strength faileth, forsake me not. |
| 10 | For mine enemies speak concerning me, And they that watch for my soul take counsel together, |
| 11 | Saying: 'God hath forsaken him; Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.' |
| 12 | O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me. |
| 13 | Let them be ashamed and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and confusion that seek my hurt. |
| 14 | But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise Thee yet more and more. |
| 15 | My mouth shall tell of Thy righteousness, And of Thy salvation all the day; For I know not the numbers thereof. |
| 16 | I will come with Thy mighty acts, O Lord GOD; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only. |
| 17 | O God, Thou hast taught me from my youth; And until now do I declare Thy wondrous works. |
| 18 | And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; Until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come. |
| 19 | Thy righteousness also, O God, which reacheth unto high heaven; Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like unto Thee? |
| 20 | Thou, who hast made me to see many and sore troubles, Wilt quicken me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth. |
| 21 | Thou wilt increase my greatness, And turn and comfort me. |
| 22 | I also will give thanks unto Thee with the psaltery, Even unto Thy truth, O my God; I will sing praises unto Thee with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel. |
| 23 | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing praises unto Thee; And my soul, which Thou hast redeemed. |
| 24 | My tongue also shall tell of Thy righteousness all the day; For they are ashamed, for they are abashed, that seek my hurt. |
