1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.

Never let me be disappointed.

2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.

Turn your ear to me, and save me.

3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.

Give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh,

my confidence from my youth.

6 I have relied on you from the womb.

You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.

I will always praise you.

7 I am a marvel to many,

but you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,

with your honor all day long.

9 Don’t reject me in my old age.

Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

10 For my enemies talk about me.

Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

11 saying, "God has forsaken him.

Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."

12 God, don’t be far from me.

My God, hurry to help me.

13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.

Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

14 But I will always hope,

and will add to all of your praise.

15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness,

and of your salvation all day,

though I don’t know its full measure.

16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh.

I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

17 God, you have taught me from my youth.

Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me,

until I have declared your strength to the next generation,

your might to everyone who is to come.

19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.

You have done great things.

God, who is like you?

20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,

you will let me live.

You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

21 Increase my honor

and comfort me again.

22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.

I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips shall shout for joy!

My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,

for they are disappointed, and they are confounded,

who want to harm me.

1 In thee, O LORD, have I waited; let me not be forever put to shame.

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 unto which I may continually resort; thou hast given [a] commandment that I should be saved because 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 perverse and violent man.

5 For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD; [thou art] my security from my youth.

6 By thee have I been sustained from the womb; thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels; my praise [has been] 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 glory all the day.

9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

10 For my enemies speak against me, and those that lay [in] wait for my soul take counsel together,

11 saying, God has forsaken him; persecute and take him for [there is] no one 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 continually wait and will add upon all thy praise.

15 My mouth shall show 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 until now; I shall manifest thy wondrous works.

18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not until I have showed [the strength] of thy arm unto [the next] generation [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come,

19 and thy righteousness, O God, unto excellence because thou hast done great things; O God, who [is] like unto thee!

20 [Thou] who hast caused me to see great and sore troubles, shalt return and quicken me 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 [an] instrument of the psaltery, O my God; unto thee will I sing thy truth 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 ransomed.

24 In the same manner my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness every day, for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.:
