MLV(i)
1 I take refuge in you, O Jehovah. Do not let me be put to shame everlasting. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
3 Because you are my rock and my fortress. Therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me. 4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, because you are my stronghold.
5 I commend my spirit into your hand. You have redeemed me, O Jehovah, you, God of truth.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Jehovah.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities, 8 and you have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, because I am in distress. My eye wastes away with grief, yes, my soul and my body. 10 Because my life is spent with sorrow and my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity and my bones are wasted away.
11 I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries, yes, to my neighbors exceedingly and a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me outside fled from me. 12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
13 Because I have heard the slander of many. Terror was on every side, while they took counsel together against me. They devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in you, O Jehovah. I said, You are my God. 15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16 Make your face to shine upon your servant. Save me in your loving kindness. 17 Do not let me be put to shame, O Jehovah, because I have called upon you.
Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol. 18 Let the lying lips be dumb, which arrogantly speak against the righteous man, with pride and contempt.
19 O how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you before the sons of men!
20 In the covert of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Praise Jehovah, because he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city. 22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes. Nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you.
23 O love Jehovah, all you*, his holy ones. Jehovah preserves the faithful and plentifully repays he who deals proudly. 24 Be strong and let your* heart take courage, all you* who hope in Jehovah.
