| 1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness. | 1In you, LORD, I have taken refuge. Let me never be ashamed. Because you are righteous, deliver me! |
| 2Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me. | 2Listen to me, and deliver me quickly. Become a rock of safety for me, a fortified citadel to deliver me; |
| 3For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me. | 3For you are my rock and my fortress; for the sake of your name guide me and lead me. |
| 4Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. | 4Rescue me from the net that they concealed to trap me; for you are my strength. |
| 5Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. | 5Into your hands I commit my spirit; for you have redeemed me, LORD God of truth. |
| 6I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the LORD. | 6I despise those who trust vain idols; but I have trusted in the LORD. |
| 7I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities, | 7I will rejoice and be glad in your gracious love, for you see my affliction and take note that my soul is distressed. |
| 8And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place. | 8You have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy, but you have set my feet in a sturdy place. |
| 9Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body! | 9Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eyes have been consumed by my grief along with my soul and my body. |
| 10For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away. | 10My life is consumed by sorrow, my years with groaning. My strength has faltered because of my iniquity; my bones have been consumed. |
| 11I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me. | 11I have become an object of reproach to all my enemies, especially to my neighbors. I have become an object of fear to my friends, and whoever sees me outside runs away from me. |
| 12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. | 12Like a dead man, I am forgotten in their thoughts — like broken pottery. |
| 13For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life. | 13I have heard the slander of many; it is like terror all around me, as they conspire together and plot to take my life. |
| 14But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” | 14But I trust in you, LORD. I say, "You are my God." |
| 15My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. | 15My times are in your hands. Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and from those who pursue me. |
| 16Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake. | 16May your face shine on your servant; in your gracious love, deliver me. |
| 17Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave. | 17Let me not be ashamed, LORD, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in the next life. |
| 18Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. | 18Let the lying lips be made still, especially those who speak arrogantly against the righteous with pride and contempt. |
| 19Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! | 19How great is your goodness that you have reserved for those who fear you, that you have set in place for those who take refuge in you, in the presence of the children of men. |
| 20You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. | 20You will hide them in the secret place of your presence, away from the conspiracies of men. You will hide them in your tent, away from their contentious tongues. |
| 21Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city! | 21Blessed be the LORD! In a marvelous way he demonstrated his gracious love to me, when I was in a city under siege. |
| 22For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. | 22When I said in my panic, "I have been cut off in your sight," then you surely heard the voice of my prayer in my plea to you for help. |
| 23Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person. | 23Love the LORD, all his godly ones! The LORD preserves the faithful and repays those who act with proud motives. |
| 24Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD. | 24Be strong, and let your heart be courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD. |
