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 a house of defense 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 neighbors,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 thingsproudly 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 theebefore the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presencefrom the pride of man:thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilionfrom the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord:for he hath showed me his marvelous 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 supplicationswhen 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.
