King James Version KJV
1 In you, ADONAI, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
1
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 In your righteousness, rescue me; and help me to escape. Turn your ear toward me, and deliver me.
2
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be for me a sheltering rock, where I can always come. You have determined to save me, because you are my bedrock and stronghold.
3
Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 My God, help me escape from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
4
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, Adonai ELOHIM, in whom I have trusted since I was young.
5
For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 From birth I have relied on you; it was you who took me from my mother's womb.
6
By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 To many, I am an amazing example; but you are strong protection for me.
7
I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is full of praise for you, filled with your glory all day long.
8
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.
9 Don't reject me when I grow old; when my strength fails, don't abandon me.
9
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For my enemies are talking about me, those seeking my life are plotting together.
10
For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 They say, "God has abandoned him; go after him, and seize him, because no one will save him."
11
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
12 God, don't distance yourself from me! My God, hurry to help me!
12
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 May those who are opposed to me be put to shame and ruin; may those who seek to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.
13
Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I, I will always hope and keep adding to your praise.
14
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 All day long my mouth will tell of your righteous deeds and acts of salvation, though their number is past my knowing.
15
My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
16 I will come in the power of Adonai ELOHIM and recall your righteousness, yours alone.
16
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
17 God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still proclaim your wonderful works.
17
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 So now that I'm old, and my hair is gray, don't abandon me, God, till I have proclaimed your strength to the next generation, your power to all who will come,
18
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
19 your righteousness too, God, which reaches to the heights. God, you have done great things; who is there like you?
19
Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
20 You have made me see much trouble and hardship, but you will revive me again and bring me up from the depths of the earth.
20
Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 You will increase my honor; turn and comfort me.
21
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 As for me, I will praise you with a lyre for your faithfulness, my God. I will sing praises to you with a lute, Holy One of Isra'el.
22
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips will shout for joy; I will sing your praise, because you have redeemed me.
23
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 All day long my tongue will speak of your righteousness. For those who are seeking to harm me will be put to shame and disgraced.
24
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.
