1In you, O Yehovah, I take refuge: Let me never be put to shame.
2Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me: Bow down your ear to me, and save me.
3Be to me a rock of habitation, to which I may continually resort: You have given commandment to save me; For you are my rock and my fortress.
4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5For you are my hope, O Lord Yehovah: You are my trust from my youth.
6By you I have been held up from the womb; You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb: My praise shall be continually of you.
7I am as a wonder to many; But you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth shall be filled with your praise, And with your honor all the day.
9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For my enemies speak concerning me; And those who watch for my soul take counsel together,
11Saying, God has forsaken him: Pursue and take him; for there is none to deliver.
12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me.
13Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my soul; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt.
14But I will hope continually, And will praise you yet more and more.
15My mouth shall tell of your righteousness, And of your salvation all the day; For I do not know their numbers.
16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yehovah: I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours only.
17O God, you have taught me from my youth; And until now I have declared your wondrous works.
18Yes, even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I have declared your strength to the next generation, Your might to everyone who is to come.
19Your righteousness also, O God, is very high; You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?
20You, who have shown us many and severe troubles, Will revive us again, And will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21Increase my greatness, And turn again and comfort me.
22I will also praise you with the psaltery, Even your truth, O my God: To you I will sing praises with the harp, O you Holy One of Israel.
23My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to you; And my soul, which you have redeemed.
24My tongue also shall talk of your righteousness all the day long; For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt.
