1In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge:
2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me:
3Be thou to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort:
4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
5For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah:
6By thee have I been holden up from the womb;
7I am as a wonder unto many;
8My mouth shall be filled with thy praise,
9Cast me not off in the time of old age;
10For mine enemies speak concerning me;
11Saying, God hath forsaken him:
12O God, be not far from me;
13Let them be put to shame and consumed that are adversaries to my soul;
14But I will hope continually,
15My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness,
16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Jehovah:
17O God, thou hast taught me from my youth;
18Yea, even when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not,
19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high;
20Thou, who hast showed us many and sore troubles,
21Increase thou my greatness,
22I will also praise thee with the psaltery,
23My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee;
24My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long;
