311To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.+2Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.+3For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.+4Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.+5Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou]God of truth.+6I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.+7I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,+8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.+9Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.+10For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.+11More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.+12I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.+13For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.+14But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art myGod.+15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.+16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.+17Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.+18Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.+19[Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!+20Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.+21Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.+22As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.+23Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.+24Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.+
