Text size

1 In thee O LORD do I put my trust let me never be put to confusion ⚑

2 Deliver me in thy righteousness and cause me to escape incline thine ear unto me and save me ⚑

3 Be thou my strong habitation whereunto I may continually resort thou hast given commandment to save me for thou art my rock and my fortress ⚑

4 Deliver me O my God out of the hand of the wicked out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man ⚑

5 For thou art my hope O Lord GOD thou art my trust from my youth ⚑

6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb thou art he that took me out of my other’s bowels my praise shall be continually of thee ⚑

7 I am as a wonder unto many but thou art my strong refuge ⚑

8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day ⚑

9 Cast me not off in the time of old age forsake me not when my strength faileth ⚑

10 For mine enemies speak against me and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together ⚑

11 Saying God hath forsaken him persecute and take him for there is none to deliver him ⚑

12 O God be not far from me O my God make haste for my help ⚑

13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt ⚑

14 But I will hope continually and will yet praise thee more and more ⚑

15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day for I know not the numbers thereof ⚑

16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD I will make mention of thy righteousness even of thine only ⚑

17 O God thou hast taught me from my youth and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works ⚑

18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded O God forsake me not until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation and thy power to every one that is to come ⚑

19 Thy righteousness also O God is very high who hast done great things O God who is like unto thee ⚑

20 Thou which hast shewed me great and sore troubles shalt quicken me again and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth ⚑

21 Thou shalt increase my greatness and comfort me on every side ⚑

22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery even thy truth O my God unto thee will I sing with the harp O thou Holy One of Israel ⚑

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee and my soul which thou hast redeemed ⚑

24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long for they are confounded for they are brought unto shame that seek my hurt ⚑
