1In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.

2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.

3Be 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.

4My ²⁷⁰God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

5For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.

6On 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.

7I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.

8My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.

9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

10For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,

11Saying, ²⁷¹God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.

12O ²⁷²God, be not far from me; my ²⁷³God, hasten to my help.

13Let 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.

14But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

15My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].

16I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.

17O ²⁷⁴God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:

18Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O ²⁷⁵God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.

19And thy righteousness, O ²⁷⁶God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O ²⁷⁷God, who is like unto thee?

20Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;

21Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

22I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my ²⁷⁸God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.

23My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

24My 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.
