King James BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.
2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.
3Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.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.
4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,
5For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.5For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.
6By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.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 am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.7I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.
8Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.8My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,10For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,
11Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.11Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver."
12O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!
13Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.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 I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.14But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
15My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.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 go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.17O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.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.
19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
20Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.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.
21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.
22I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.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 shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.
24My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
