1
To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732]. In thee, O LORD[H3068], do I put my trust[H2620]; let me never[H408] be ashamed[H954]: deliver[H6403] me in thy righteousness[H6666].
2
Bow down[H5186] thine ear[H241] to me; deliver[H5337] me speedily[H4120]: be thou my strong[H4581]rock[H6697], for an house[H1004] of defence[H4686] to save[H3467] me.
3
For thou art my rock[H5553] and my fortress[H4686]; therefore for thy name's sake lead[H5148] me, and guide[H5095] me.
4
Pull me out[H3318] of the net[H7568]that[H2098] they have laid privily[H2934] for me: for thou art my strength[H4581].
5
Into thine hand[H3027] I commit[H6485] my spirit[H7307]: thou hast redeemed[H6299] me, O LORD[H3068]God[H410] of truth[H571].
6
I have hated[H8130] them that regard[H8104]lying[H7723]vanities[H1892]: but I trust[H982] in the LORD[H3068].
7
I will be glad[H1523] and rejoice[H8055] in thy mercy[H2617]: for thou hast considered[H7200] my trouble[H6040]; thou hast known[H3045] my soul[H5315] in adversities[H6869];
8
And hast not shut me up[H5462] into the hand[H3027] of the enemy[H341]: thou hast set[H5975] my feet[H7272] in a large room[H4800].
9
Have mercy[H2603] upon me, O LORD[H3068], for I am in trouble[H6887]: mine eye[H5869] is consumed[H6244] with grief[H3708], yea, my soul[H5315] and my belly[H990].
10
For my life[H2416] is spent[H3615] with grief[H3015], and my years[H8141] with sighing[H585]: my strength[H3581]faileth[H3782] because of mine iniquity[H5771], and my bones[H6106] are consumed[H6244].
11
I was a reproach[H2781] among all mine enemies[H6887], but especially[H3966] among my neighbours[H7934], and a fear[H6343] to mine acquaintance[H3045]: they that did see[H7200] me without[H2351]fled[H5074] from me.
12
I am forgotten[H7911] as a dead man[H4191] out of mind[H3820]: I am like a broken[H6]vessel[H3627].
13
For I have heard[H8085] the slander[H1681] of many[H7227]: fear[H4032] was on every side[H5439]: while they took counsel[H3245]together[H3162] against me, they devised[H2161] to take away[H3947] my life[H5315].
14
But I trusted[H982] in thee, O LORD[H3068]: I said[H559], Thou art my God[H430].
15
My times[H6256] are in thy hand[H3027]: deliver[H5337] me from the hand[H3027] of mine enemies[H341], and from them that persecute[H7291] me.
16
Make thy face[H6440] to shine[H215] upon thy servant[H5650]: save[H3467] me for thy mercies[H2617]' sake.
17
Let me not be ashamed[H954], O LORD[H3068]; for I have called[H7121] upon thee: let the wicked[H7563] be ashamed[H954], and let them be silent[H1826] in the grave[H7585].
18
Let the lying[H8267]lips[H8193] be put to silence[H481]; which speak[H1696]grievous[H6277] things proudly[H1346] and contemptuously[H937] against the righteous[H6662].
19
Oh how great[H7227] is thy goodness[H2898], which thou hast laid up[H6845] for them that fear[H3373] thee; which thou hast wrought[H6466] for them that trust[H2620] in thee before the sons[H1121] of men[H120]!
20
Thou shalt hide[H5641] them in the secret[H5643] of thy presence[H6440] from the pride[H7407] of man[H376]: thou shalt keep them secretly[H6845] in a pavilion[H5521] from the strife[H7379] of tongues[H3956].
21Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068]: for he hath shewed me his marvellous[H6381]kindness[H2617] in a strong[H4692]city[H5892].
22
For I said[H559] in my haste[H2648], I am cut off[H1629] from before[H5048] thine eyes[H5869]: nevertheless[H403] thou heardest[H8085] the voice[H6963] of my supplications[H8469] when I cried[H7768] unto thee.
23
O love[H157] the LORD[H3068], all ye his saints[H2623]: for the LORD[H3068]preserveth[H5341] the faithful[H539], and plentifully[H3499]rewardeth[H7999] the proud[H1346]doer[H6213].
24
Be of good courage[H2388], and he shall strengthen[H553] your heart[H3824], all ye that hope[H3176] in the LORD[H3068].
