¹ In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust;
let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness.

² Bow down thine ear to me;
deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock,
for an house of defence to save me.

³ For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake
lead me, and guide me.

⁴ Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.

⁵ Into thine hand I commit my spirit:
thou hast redeemed me,
O LORD God of truth.

⁶ I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
but I trust in the LORD.

⁷ I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:
for thou hast considered my trouble;
thou hast known my soul in adversities;

⁸ And hast not shut me up
into the hand of the enemy:
thou hast set my feet in a large room.

⁹ Have mercy upon me,
O LORD, for I am in trouble:
mine eye is consumed with grief,
yea, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief,
and my years with sighing:
my strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
and my bones are consumed.

¹¹ I was a reproach among all mine enemies,
but especially among my neighbours,
and a fear to mine acquaintance:
they that did see me without fled from me.

¹² I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:
I am like a broken vessel.

¹³ For I have heard the slander of many:
fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me,
they devised to take away my life.

¹⁴ But I trusted in thee, O LORD:
I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵ My times are in thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.

¹⁶ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
save me for thy mercies' sake.

¹⁷ Let me not be ashamed, O LORD;
for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed,
and let them be silent in the grave.

¹⁸ Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous things proudly
and contemptuously against the righteous.

¹⁹ Oh how great is thy goodness,
which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee;
which thou hast wrought for them
that trust in thee before the sons of men!

²⁰ Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence
from the pride of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion
from the strife of tongues.

²¹ Blessed be the LORD:
for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness
in a strong city.

²² For I said in my haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications
when I cried unto thee.

²³ O love the LORD, all ye his saints:
for the LORD preserveth the faithful,
and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

²⁴ Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.
