1
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I seek refuge; let me never be put to shame; in thy righteousness deliver me!
2
Incline thy ear to me, rescue me speedily! Be thou a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
3
Yea, thou art my rock and my fortress; for thy name's sake lead me and guide me,
4
take me out of the net which is hidden for me, for thou art my refuge.
5
Into thy hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
6
Thou hatest those who pay regard to vain idols; but I trust in the LORD.
7
I will rejoice and be glad for thy steadfast love, because thou hast seen my affliction, thou hast taken heed of my adversities,
8
and hast not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a broad place.
9
Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief, my soul and my body also.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
