1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.4 My God, rescue me 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 Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, 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 watch for my soul consult together,11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour 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 declare thy righteousness, {and} thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers {thereof}.16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto {this} generation, thy might to every one that is to come.19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.

1 By U, o HERE, skuil ek: laat my nie vir altyd beskaamd staan nie!2 Red my deur u geregtigheid en bevry my; neig u oor tot my en verlos my!3 Wees vir my 'n rots om in te woon, om gedurig in te gaan; U wat bevel gegee het om my te verlos, want U is my rots en my bergvesting.4 My God, red my uit die hand van die goddelose, uit die mag van hom wat onreg doen, en van die geweldenaar.5 Want U is my verwagting, Here HERE, my vertroue van my jeug af.6 Op U het ek gesteun van die geboorte af, van die moederskoot af is U my bevryder; oor U is my lof altyddeur.7 Ek was vir baie soos 'n wonder; maar U is my magtige toevlug.8 My mond is vol van u lof, die hele dag van u roem.9 Verwerp my nie in die tyd van die ouderdom nie, verlaat my nie as my krag gedaan is nie.10 Want my vyande praat van my, en die wat op my lewe loer, hou saam raad11 en sê: God het hom verlaat; agtervolg en gryp hom, want daar is geen redder nie!12 o God, wees nie ver van my af nie; my God, maak tog gou om my te help!13 Laat hulle wat my as vyand behandel, beskaamd staan, verteer word; laat hulle wat my ongeluk soek, hulleself toedraai in smaad en skande.14 Maar ,k sal altyddeur hoop en al u lof vermeerder.15 My mond sal u geregtigheid vertel, die hele dag u heil; want ek ken nie die maat daarvan nie.16 Ek sal kom met die magtige dade van die Here HERE; ek sal u geregtigheid vermeld, die van U alleen.17 o God, U het my geleer van my jeug af, en tot nou toe verkondig ek u wonders.18 En ook tot die ouderdom en die grysheid toe -- o God, verlaat my nie, totdat ek aan die volgende geslag u arm verkondig, aan almal wat sal kom, u mag.19 Ook is u geregtigheid, o God, tot in die hoogte; U wat groot dinge gedoen het, o God, wie is soos U?20 U wat my baie en bange node laat sien het, sal my weer lewend maak en my weer ophaal uit die watervloede van die aarde.21 Vermeerder my grootheid, en wend U om en troos my.22 So wil ek U dan ook loof met die instrument van die harp, u trou, my God! Ek wil psalmsing tot u eer op die siter, o Heilige van Israel!23 My lippe sal jubel as ek psalmsing tot u eer, en my siel, wat U verlos het.24 Ook sal my tong u geregtigheid die hele dag prys, want hulle het beskaamd gestaan, want hulle wat my ongeluk soek, het rooi van skaamte geword.
