| New King James Version | New Living Translation |
| 1In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. | 1O LORD, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced. |
| 2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. | 2Save me and rescue me, for you do what is right. Turn your ear to listen to me, and set me free. |
| 3Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress. | 3Be my rock of safety where I can always hide. Give the order to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. |
| 4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. | 4My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of cruel oppressors. |
| 5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth. | 5O Lord, you alone are my hope. I’ve trusted you, O LORD, from childhood. |
| 6By You I have been upheld from birth; You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise shall be continually of You. | 6Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you! |
| 7I have become as a wonder to many, But You are my strong refuge. | 7My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection. |
| 8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day. | 8That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. |
| 9Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. | 9And now, in my old age, don’t set me aside. Don’t abandon me when my strength is failing. |
| 10For my enemies speak against me; And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, | 10For my enemies are whispering against me. They are plotting together to kill me. |
| 11Saying, “God has forsaken him; Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.” | 11They say, “God has abandoned him. Let’s go and get him, for no one will help him now.” |
| 12O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! | 12O God, don’t stay away. My God, please hurry to help me. |
| 13Let them be confounded and consumed Who are adversaries of my life; Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor Who seek my hurt. | 13Bring disgrace and destruction on my accusers. Humiliate and shame those who want to harm me. |
| 14But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. | 14But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more. |
| 15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And Your salvation all the day, For I do not know their limits. | 15I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words. |
| 16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. | 16I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just. |
| 17O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. | 17O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do. |
| 18Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. | 18Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me. |
| 19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You? | 19Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God? |
| 20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth. | 20You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. |
| 21You shall increase my greatness, And comfort me on every side. | 21You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again. |
| 22Also with the lute I will praise You— And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. | 22Then I will praise you with music on the harp, because you are faithful to your promises, O my God. I will sing praises to you with a lyre, O Holy One of Israel. |
| 23My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed. | 23I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me. |
| 24My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; For they are confounded, For they are brought to shame Who seek my hurt. | 24I will tell about your righteous deeds all day long, for everyone who tried to hurt me has been shamed and humiliated. |
