📚✭✭In you, O LORD, I put my trust.Let me never be put to confusion.
2 📚Rescue me in your righteousness,
and enable me to escape.
Bend down your ear to me,
and save me.
3 📚✭Be my strong dwelling place,
to which I can continually resort.
You have given the command
to save me,
for you are my rock
and my fortress.
4 📚✭Rescue me, O my God,
from the hands of the wicked,
from the hands of the unrighteous
and cruel man.
5 📚For you are my hope,
O Lord God.
You are my trust
from my youth.
6 📚By you I have been upheld
from birth.
You are the one who took me
from my
mother’s womb.
My praise will continually
be of you.
7 📚✭I have become like a sign
to many;
but you are my strong
refuge.
8 📚✭Let my mouth be filled with
your praise and with
your honour all day.
9 📚✭Do not reject me in the time
of old age;
do not forsake me when
my strength fails.
10 📚✭For my enemies speak
against me,
and those who lie in wait
for my life conspire together,
11 📚Saying, “God has forsaken him.
Persecute and take him,
for there is no one
to rescue him.
12 📚O God, do not be far from me.
O my God,
come quickly for my help.
13 📚Let those who are the enemies
of my soul be put to shame
and consumed.
Let those who seek my harm be
covered with scorn and
dishonour.
14 📚✭But I will hope continually
and will praise you still more
and more.
15 📚✭My mouth shall declare your
righteousness and your
salvation all day,
though I do not know its
measure.
16 📚I will go in the strength
of the Lord God.
I will mention your righteousness,
yours alone.
17 📚✭O God, you have taught me
from my youth;
and to this day I have declared
your wonderful works.
18 📚Even when I am old
and gray-headed,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I have declared your strength
to this generation,
and your power to everyone who
is to come.
19 📚Your righteousness also, O God,
is very lofty,
you who have done great things.
O God, who is like you!
20 📚✭You, who have showed me
great and severe troubles,
will cause me to live again,
and will bring me up again from the
depths of the earth.
21 📚You will increase my greatness,
and comfort me on every side.
22 📚✭And with the lyre I will praise you,
and your truth, O my God.
To you I will sing with the harp,
O Holy One of Israel.
23 📚When I sing to you my lips
will greatly rejoice, and my soul,
which you have redeemed.
24 📚My tongue also will speak of your
righteousness all day long;
for those who seek my harm are
disappointed,
they are brought to shame.
