1 In thee , O LORD , do I put my trust : let me never be put to confusion .
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness , and cause me to escape : incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation , whereunto I may continually 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 unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope , O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth .
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb : thou art he that took me out of my mother’s bowels : my praise shall be continually of thee .
7 I am as a wonder unto many ; but thou art my strong refuge .
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth .
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together ,
11 Saying , God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help .
13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul ; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt .
14 But I will hope continually , and will yet praise thee more and more .
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof .
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness , even of thine only .
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth : and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works .
18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded , O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation , and thy power to every one that is to come .
19 Thy righteousness also , O God, is very high , who hast done great things : O God, who is like unto thee !
20 Thou , which hast shewed me great and sore troubles , shalt quicken me again , and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth .
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness , and comfort me on every side .
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery , even thy truth , O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp , O thou Holy One of Israel .
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee ; and my soul , which thou hast redeemed .
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long : for they are confounded , for they are brought unto shame , that seek my hurt .
