| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me; |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul, |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief; my soul and my body also. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For I hear the whispering of many— terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” |

| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let the lying lips be mute, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was in a besieged city. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22I had said in my alarm, “I am cut off from your sight.” But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy when I cried to you for help. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! |
