1In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;
Let me never be ashamed:
Deliver me in thy righteousness.

2Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily:
Be thou my strong rock,
For a house of defence to save me.

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

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

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

6I have hated them that regard lying vanities:
But I trust in the Lord.

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

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

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

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

11I 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.

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

13For 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.

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

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

16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
Save me for thy mercy’s sake.

17Let 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.

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

19O 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!

20Thou 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.

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

22For 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.

23O love the Lord, all ye his saints:
For the Lord preserveth the faithful,
And plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

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