Text size

1 In thee O LORD do I put my trust let me never be ashamed deliver me in thy righteousness ⚑

2 Bow down thine ear to me deliver me speedily be thou my strong rock for an house of defence to save me ⚑

3 For thou art my rock and my fortress therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me ⚑

4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me for thou art my strength ⚑

5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit thou hast redeemed me O LORD God of truth ⚑

6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities but I trust in the LORD ⚑

7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy for thou hast considered my trouble thou hast known my soul in adversities ⚑

8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy thou hast set my feet in a large room ⚑

9 Have mercy upon me O LORD for I am in trouble mine eye is consumed with grief yea my soul and my belly ⚑

10 For my life is spent with grief and my years with sighing my strength faileth because of mine iniquity and my bones are consumed ⚑

11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies but especially among my neighbours and a fear to mine acquaintance they that did see me without fled from me ⚑

12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind I am like a broken vessel ⚑

13 For I have heard the slander of many fear was on every side while they took counsel together against me they devised to take away my life ⚑

14 But I trusted in thee O LORD I said Thou art my God ⚑

15 My times are in thy hand deliver me from the hand of mine enemies and from them that persecute me ⚑

16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant save me for thy rcies’ sake ⚑

17 Let me not be ashamed O LORD for I have called upon thee let the wicked be ashamed and let them be silent in the grave ⚑

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous ⚑

19 Oh how great is thy goodness which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men ⚑

20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues ⚑

21 Blessed be the LORD for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city ⚑

22 For I said in my haste I am cut off from before thine eyes nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee ⚑

23 O love the LORD all ye his saints for the LORD preserveth the faithful and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer ⚑

24 Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart all ye that hope in the LORD ⚑
