Berean Study BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.
2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.
3Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.3Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.
4Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,
5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.5For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.
6I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.6By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You.
7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.7I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.
8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.8My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.
9Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,10For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,
11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”11Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver."
12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!
13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.13Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.
14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.14But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.
16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.17O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
18Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.18And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
20Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.
22So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.22I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.
24My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
