Christian Standard BibleNew American Standard Bible 1995
1LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced.1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed.
2In your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.2In Your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline Your ear to me and save me.
3Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and fortress.3Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.
4Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.4Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,
5For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.5For You are my hope; O Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.
6I have leaned on you from birth; you took me from my mother's womb. My praise is always about you.6By You I have been sustained from my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb; My praise is continually of You.
7I am like a miraculous sign to many, and you are my strong refuge.7I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.
8My mouth is full of praise and honor to you all day long.8My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.
9Don't discard me in my old age. As my strength fails, do not abandon me.9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together,10For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,
11saying, "God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue him."11Saying, "God has forsaken him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to deliver."
12God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me.12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, hasten to my help!
13May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who intend to harm me be covered with disgrace and humiliation.13Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed and consumed; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor, who seek to injure me.
14But I will hope continually and will praise you more and more.14But as for me, I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more.
15My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up.15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the sum of them.
16I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.16I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
17God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim your wondrous works.17O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
18Even while I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, while I proclaim your power to another generation, your strength to all who are to come.18And even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
19Your righteousness reaches the heights, God, you who have done great things; God, who is like you?19For Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
20You caused me to experience many troubles and misfortunes, but you will revive me again. You will bring me up again, even from the depths of the earth.20You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.21May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.
22Therefore, I will praise you with a harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing to you with a lyre, Holy One of Israel.22I will also praise You with a harp, Even Your truth, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you because you have redeemed me.23My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.
24Therefore, my tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long, for those who intend to harm me will be disgraced and confounded.24My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.
