1 - In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 - In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me.
3 - Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 - Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 - For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.
6 - From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.
7 - I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.
8 - My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
9 - Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 - For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 - They say, "God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him."
12 - Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.
13 - May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 - As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.
15 - My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long - though I know not how to relate them all.
16 - I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 - Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 - Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 - Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?
20 - Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21 - You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.
22 - I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 - My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you - I whom you have delivered.
24 - My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
