In you, O LORD, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me. |
2
|
Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me. |
3
|
You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me, |
4
|
take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge. |
5
|
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God. |
6
|
You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the LORD. |
7
|
I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities, |
8
|
and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place. |
9
|
Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also. |
10
|
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away. |
11
|
I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me. |
12
|
I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel. |
13
|
For I hear the whispering of many-- terror all around!-- as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life. |
14
|
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." |
15
|
My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. |
16
|
Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love. |
17
|
Do not let me be put to shame, O LORD, for I call on you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go dumbfounded to Sheol. |
18
|
Let the lying lips be stilled that speak insolently against the righteous with pride and contempt. |
19
|
O how abundant is your goodness that you have laid up for those who fear you, and accomplished for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of everyone! |
20
|
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots; you hold them safe under your shelter from contentious tongues. |
21
|
Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege. |
22
|
I had said in my alarm, "I am driven far from your sight." But you heard my supplications when I cried out to you for help. |
23
|
Love the LORD, all you his saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily. |
24
|
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD. |
