In You, O Jehovah, do I take refuge; Never let me be put to shame. Rescue me in Your righteousness.

Incline Your ear to me; Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of protection, A fortress, to save me.

For You are my crag and my fortress; Therefore for Your name's sake Lead me and guide me.

Bring me out of the net That they have secretly laid for me, For You are my protection.

Into Your hand I commit my spirit; Redeem me, O Jehovah, God of truth.

I hate those who regard vanities of falsehood, But I trust in Jehovah.

I will exult and rejoice in Your lovingkindness, Since You have seen my affliction; You know the distress of my soul.

And You have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; You have made my feet stand in a place broad and free.

Be gracious to me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress. My eye is wasted away with grief, Indeed my soul and body.

For my life has been consumed in sorrow, And my years, in sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones have wasted away.

Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach, And especially so to my neighbors, And something dreaded to my acquaintances; Those who see me on the street flee from me.

I am forgotten, like a dead man out of mind; I am like a destroyed vessel.

For I hear the slander of many; Terror is on every side. When they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take my life.

But I trust in You, O Jehovah; I say, You are my God.

My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.

Cause Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.

O Jehovah, do not let me be put to shame when I call out to You; Let the wicked be put to shame; let them be silent in Sheol.

Let the lips of falsehood be made dumb, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.

How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have accomplished in the sight of the sons of men For those who take refuge in You!

You hide them in the hiding place of Your presence Apart from the conspiracies of men; You lay them away secretly in a shelter Apart from the contention of tongues.

Blessed be Jehovah, For He displayed His lovingkindness wondrously To me in a fortified city.

I, on my part, had said in my alarm, I am cut off before Your eyes; But instead You heard The voice of my supplications When I cried out to You.

Love Jehovah, all you who are His faithful ones; Jehovah guards the trustworthy, And recompenses abundantly Him who acts haughtily.

Be strong, and let your heart be encouraged, All you who hope in Jehovah.
