| New King James Version | International Standard Version |
| 1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | 1In you, LORD, I take refuge; let me never be humiliated. |
| 2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. | 2Rescue and deliver me, because you are righteous. Turn your ear to me 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 sheltering refuge where I may go continuously; command my deliverance 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. | 4My God, deliver me from the power of the wicked and the grasp of ruthless practicers of evil. |
| 5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. | 5For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my security since I was young. |
| 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 depended on you since birth, when you brought me from my mother's womb; I praise you continuously. |
| 7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7I have become an example to many that 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 your splendor daily. |
| 9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | 9Don't throw me away when I am old; do not abandon 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 talk against me; those who seek to kill me plot together |
| 11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11and say, "God has abandoned him. Run after him and seize him, because there's no deliverer." |
| 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12God, do not be distant from me. My God, come quickly 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. | 13Let my adversaries be ashamed and consumed; let those who seek my destruction be covered with scorn and disgrace. |
| 14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14As for me, I will hope continuously 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. | 15I will declare your righteousness and your salvation every day, though I do not fully understand what the outcome will be. |
| 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 16Lord GOD, I will come in the power of your mighty acts, remembering your righteousness—yours alone. |
| 17O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. | 17God, you taught me from my youth, so I am still declaring your awesome 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. | 18Also, when I reach old age and have gray hair, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your power to this generation and your might to the next one. |
| 19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19Your many righteous deeds, God, are great, |
| 20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20God, who can compare to you, who caused me to experience troubles that were numerous and disastrous? You will return to revive me and lift me up from the depths of the earth. |
| 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. | 22I also will praise you with the harp; because of your faithfulness, my God, I will praise you with the lyre— Holy One of Israel. |
| 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. | 23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you, whose life 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. | 24Moreover, my tongue will speak all day about your justice; for those who seek my destruction will be utterly humiliated. |
