[an error occurred while processing this directive]New Living Translation
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1O LORD, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O LORD, from childhood.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you!
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10For my enemies are whispering against me. They are plotting together to kill me.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11They say, “God has abandoned him. Let’s go and get him, for no one will help him now.”
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12O God, don’t stay away. My God, please hurry to help me.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers. Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Then I will praise you with music on the harp, because you are faithful to your promises, O my God. I will sing praises to you with a lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24I will tell about your righteous deeds all day long, for everyone who tried to hurt me has been shamed and humiliated.
