1 In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, || Do not let me be disappointed for all time. In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 You deliver me in Your righteousness, || And cause me to escape, || Incline Your ear to me, and save me. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be a rock to me—a habitation, || To go in continually, || You have given command to save me, || For You [are] my rock and my bulwark. Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 O my God, cause me to escape || From the hand of the wicked, || From the hand of the perverse and violent. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, || My trust from my youth. For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth. For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.
6 I have been supported from the womb by You, || You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, || My praise [is] continually in You. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you.
7 I have been as a wonder to many, || And You [are] my strong refuge. I have been as a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, || All the day [with] Your beauty. My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all the day. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.
9 Do not cast me off at the time of old age, || Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power. Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me, || And those watching my soul have taken counsel together, For my enemies speak concerning me; those who watch for my life consult together For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him, || Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.” and say, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.” They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 O God, do not be far from me, || O my God, make haste for my help. O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, || Who are opposing my soul, || They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, || Who are seeking my evil, May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 And I continually wait with hope, || And have added to all Your praise. But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.
15 My mouth recounts Your righteousness, || All the day Your salvation, || For I have not known the numbers. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long— though I know not how to relate them all.
16 I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, || I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone. With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.
17 God, You have taught me from my youth, || And until now I declare Your wonders. O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
18 And also to old age and grey hairs, || O God, do not forsake me, || Until I declare Your strength to a generation, || Your might to everyone that comes. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.
19 And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, || Because You have done great things, || O God, who [is] like You? Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?
20 Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, || You turn back—You revive me, || And from the depths of the earth, || You turn back—You bring me up. You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
21 You increase my greatness, || And You surround—You comfort me, You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.
22 I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, || Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, || O Holy One of Israel, I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, || And my soul that You have redeemed, My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.
24 My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, || Because ashamed—because confounded, || Have been those seeking my evil! And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
