1 {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
|
1 In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
|
|
2 Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
|
2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
|
|
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
|
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
|
|
4 Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
|
4 Free me from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge.
|
|
5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth.
|
5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.
|
|
6 I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
|
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; I trust in the LORD.
|
|
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
|
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.
|
|
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
|
8 You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
|
|
9 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
|
9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief.
|
|
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
|
10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak.
|
|
11 More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
|
11 Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors; I am a dread to my friends-- those who see me on the street flee from me.
|
|
12 I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
|
12 I am forgotten by them as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery.
|
|
13 For I have heard the slander of many -- terror on every side -- when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
|
13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side; they conspire against me and plot to take my life.
|
|
14 But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
|
14 But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."
|
|
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
|
15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
|
|
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
|
16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
|
|
17 Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
|
17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and lie silent in the grave.
|
|
18 Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
|
18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
|
|
19 [Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
|
19 How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you.
|
|
20 Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
|
20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.
|
|
21 Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
|
21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.
|
|
22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
|
22 In 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 Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
|
23 Love the LORD, all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full.
|
|
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
|
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
