| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For the director of music. A psalm of David. In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful God. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends-- those who see me on the street flee from me. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For I hear many whispering, "Terror on every side!" They conspire against me and plot to take my life. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But I trust in you, LORD; I say, "You are my God." |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19How abundant are the good things that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20In the shelter of your presence you hide them from all human intrigues; you keep them safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Praise be to the LORD, for he showed me the wonders of his love when I was in a city under siege. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22In my alarm I said, "I am cut off from your sight!" Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Love the LORD, all his faithful people! The LORD preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD. |
