2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
            Incline Your ear to me and save me.

      3Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come;
            You have given commandment to save me,
            For You are my rock and my fortress.

      4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
            Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

      5For You are my hope;
            O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.

      6By You I have been sustained from my birth;
            You are He who took me from my mother’s womb;
            My praise is continually of You.

      7I have become a marvel to many,
            For You are my strong refuge.

      8My mouth is filled with Your praise
            And with Your glory all day long.

      9Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
            Do not forsake me when my strength fails.

      10For my enemies have spoken against me;
            And those who watch for my life have consulted together,

      11Saying, “God has forsaken him;
            Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver.”

      12O God, do not be far from me;
            O my God, hasten to my help!

      13Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed;
            Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

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

      15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
            And of Your salvation all day long;
            For I do not know the sum of them.

      16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD;
            I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

      17O God, You have taught me from my youth,
            And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

      18And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
            Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
            Your power to all who are to come.

      19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens,
            You who have done great things;
            O God, who is like You?

      20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
            Will revive me again,
            And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

      21May You increase my greatness
            And turn to comfort me.

      22I will also praise You with a harp,
            Even Your truth, O my God;
            To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
            O Holy One of Israel.

      23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You;
            And my soul, which You have redeemed.

      24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
            For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
