| 1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. | 1 LORD, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced. |
| 2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. | 2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me. |
| 3Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. | 3Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress. |
| 4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 4Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive. |
| 5For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. | 5For You are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth. |
| 6By 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. | 6I have leaned on You from birth; You took me from my mother's womb. My praise is always about You. |
| 7I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. | 7I have become an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge. |
| 8Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. | 8My mouth is full of praise and honor to You all day long. |
| 9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. | 9Don't discard me in my old age; as my strength fails, do not abandon me. |
| 10For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, | 10For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together, |
| 11Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. | 11saying, "God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue him." |
| 12O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. | 12God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me. |
| 13Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt. | 13May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who seek my harm be covered with disgrace and humiliation. |
| 14But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. | 14But I will hope continually and will praise You more and more. |
| 15My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. | 15My mouth will tell about Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up. |
| 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. | 16I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone. |
| 17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. | 17God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim Your wonderful works. |
| 18Now 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. | 18Even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me. Then I will proclaim Your power to another generation, Your strength to all who are to come. |
| 19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! | 19Your righteousness reaches heaven, God, You who have done great things; God, who is like You? |
| 20Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but You will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth. |
| 21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. | 21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. |
| 22I 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. | 22Therefore, I will praise You with a harp for Your faithfulness, my God; I will sing to You with a lyre, Holy One of Israel. |
| 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. | 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to You because You have redeemed me. |
| 24My 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. | 24Therefore, my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm will be disgraced and confounded. |
