New King James VersionBerean Study Bible
1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame.1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me.2In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
3Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.3Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my 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, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth.5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You.6I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge.7I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day.8My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.9Do not discard me in my 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 take counsel together,10For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.11saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!12Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt.13May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits.15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.17O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.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.
19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?19Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.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.
21You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side.21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel.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.
23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed.23When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
24My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt.24My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
