1 To the chief Musician * h5329 h8764, A Psalm * h4210 of David * h1732. In thee, O LORD * h3068, do I put my trust * h2620 h8804; let me never * h408 * h5769 be ashamed * h954 h8799: deliver * h6403 h8761 me in thy righteousness * h6666.
2 Bow down * h5186 h8685 thine ear * h241 to me; deliver * h5337 h8685 me speedily * h4120: be thou my strong * h4581 rock * h6697, for an house * h1004 of defence * h4686 to save * h3467 h8687 me. my...: Heb. to me for a rock of strength
3 For thou art my rock * h5553 and my fortress * h4686; therefore for thy name's * h8034 sake lead * h5148 h8686 me, and guide * h5095 h8762 me.
4 Pull me out * h3318 h8686 of the net * h7568 that * h2098 they have laid privily * h2934 h8804 for me: for thou art my strength * h4581.
5 Into thine hand * h3027 I commit * h6485 h8686 my spirit * h7307: thou hast redeemed * h6299 h8804 me, O LORD * h3068 God * h410 of truth * h571.
6 I have hated * h8130 h8804 them that regard * h8104 h8802 lying * h7723 vanities * h1892: but I trust * h982 h8804 in the LORD * h3068.
7 I will be glad * h1523 h8799 and rejoice * h8055 h8799 in thy mercy * h2617: for thou hast considered * h7200 h8804 my trouble * h6040; thou hast known * h3045 h8804 my soul * h5315 in adversities * h6869;
8 And hast not shut me up * h5462 h8689 into the hand * h3027 of the enemy * h341 h8802: thou hast set * h5975 h8689 my feet * h7272 in a large room * h4800.
9 Have mercy * h2603 h8798 upon me, O LORD * h3068, for I am in trouble * h6887 h8804: mine eye * h5869 is consumed * h6244 h8804 with grief * h3708, yea , my soul * h5315 and my belly * h990.
10 For my life * h2416 is spent * h3615 h8804 with grief * h3015, and my years * h8141 with sighing * h585: my strength * h3581 faileth * h3782 h8804 because of mine iniquity * h5771, and my bones * h6106 are consumed * h6244 h8804.
11 I was a reproach * h2781 among all mine enemies * h6887 h8802, but especially * h3966 among my neighbours * h7934, and a fear * h6343 to mine acquaintance * h3045 h8794: they that did see * h7200 h8802 me without * h2351 fled * h5074 h8804 from me.
12 I am forgotten * h7911 h8738 as a dead man * h4191 h8801 out of mind * h3820: I am like a broken * h6 h8802 vessel * h3627. a broken...: Heb. a vessel that perisheth
13 For I have heard * h8085 h8804 the slander * h1681 of many * h7227: fear * h4032 was on every side * h5439: while they took counsel * h3245 h8736 together * h3162 against me, they devised * h2161 h8804 to take away * h3947 h8800 my life * h5315.
14 But I trusted * h982 h8804 in thee, O LORD * h3068: I said * h559 h8804, Thou art my God * h430.
15 My times * h6256 are in thy hand * h3027: deliver * h5337 h8685 me from the hand * h3027 of mine enemies * h341 h8802, and from them that persecute * h7291 h8802 me.
16 Make thy face * h6440 to shine * h215 h8685 upon thy servant * h5650: save * h3467 h8685 me for thy mercies * h2617' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed * h954 h8799, O LORD * h3068; for I have called * h7121 h8804 upon thee: let the wicked * h7563 be ashamed * h954 h8799, and let them be silent * h1826 h8799 in the grave * h7585. silent...: or, cut off for
18 Let the lying * h8267 lips * h8193 be put to silence * h481 h8735; which speak * h1696 h8802 grievous * h6277 things proudly * h1346 and contemptuously * h937 against the righteous * h6662. grievous...: Heb. a hard thing
19 Oh how great * h7227 is thy goodness * h2898, which thou hast laid up * h6845 h8804 for them that fear * h3373 thee; which thou hast wrought * h6466 h8804 for them that trust * h2620 h8802 in thee before the sons * h1121 of men * h120!
20 Thou shalt hide * h5641 h8686 them in the secret * h5643 of thy presence * h6440 from the pride * h7407 of man * h376: thou shalt keep them secretly * h6845 h8799 in a pavilion * h5521 from the strife * h7379 of tongues * h3956.
21 Blessed * h1288 h8803 be the LORD * h3068: for he hath shewed me his marvellous * h6381 h8689 kindness * h2617 in a strong * h4692 city * h5892. strong: or, fenced
22 For I said * h559 h8804 in my haste * h2648 h8800, I am cut off * h1629 h8738 from before * h5048 thine eyes * h5869: nevertheless * h403 thou heardest * h8085 h8804 the voice * h6963 of my supplications * h8469 when I cried * h7768 h8763 unto thee.
23 O love * h157 h8798 the LORD * h3068, all ye his saints * h2623: for the LORD * h3068 preserveth * h5341 h8802 the faithful * h539 h8803, and plentifully * h3499 rewardeth * h7999 h8764 the proud * h1346 doer * h6213 h8802.
24 Be of good courage * h2388 h8798, and he shall strengthen * h553 h8686 your heart * h3824, all ye that hope * h3176 h8764 in the LORD * h3068.
