In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age. |
2
|
In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me. |
3
|
Be to me for a rock—a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou. |
4
|
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent. |
5
|
For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth. |
6
|
By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually. |
7
|
As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge. |
8
|
Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty. |
9
|
Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not. |
10
|
For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together, |
11
|
Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.' |
12
|
O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste. |
13
|
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil, |
14
|
And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise. |
15
|
My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers. |
16
|
I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness—Thine only. |
17
|
God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders. |
18
|
And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might. |
19
|
And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee? |
20
|
Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back—Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back—Thou bringest me up. |
21
|
Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest— Thou comfortest me, |
22
|
I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel, |
23
|
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed, |
24
|
My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil! |
