      | ¶ | [[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.]] In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. | |
 | Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. | ||
 | For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. | ||
| Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength. | ||
| Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. | ||
| I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. | ||
| I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; | ||
| And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room. | ||
| Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly. | ||
| For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. | ||
| I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me. | ||
| I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. | ||
| For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. | ||
| But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God. | ||
| My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. | ||
| Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. | ||
| [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! | ||
| Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. | ||
| Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. | ||
| For 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. | ||
| O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. | ||
| Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. |
