|
1 <> In Thee, O LORD, do I put my 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 Bow down Thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be Thou my strong rock, a house of defense 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; therefore for the sake of Thy name, 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 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily 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 Thine hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD 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 have regard for lying vanities; but I trust in the LORD.
|
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; I trust in the LORD.
|
|
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Thy mercy, for Thou hast considered my trouble. Thou hast known my soul in adversities,
|
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 delivered me into the hands of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large room.
|
8 You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
|
|
9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, 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 grief, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
|
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 I am a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintances; they that see me in the streets 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 as a dead man, out of mind; I am 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; fear was on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they schemed 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 have trusted in Thee, O LORD; 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 them that persecute me.
|
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 for Thy mercies' sake.
|
16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
|
|
17 Let me not be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon Thee; let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
|
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 be put to silence, which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
|
18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
|
|
19 O 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 shalt hide them in the safety of Thy presence from the pride of man; Thou shalt keep them secretly 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 the LORD, for He hath shown me His marvelous kindness in a stronghold city!
|
21 Praise be to the LORD, for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city.
|
|
22 For I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Thine eyes!" Nevertheless Thou heard 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 O love the LORD, all ye His saints! For the LORD preserveth the faithful, but plentifully rewardeth 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 of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
|
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
