For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit

¹To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.+ ²Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.+ ³For my rock and my bulwark art Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.+ ⁴Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou art my strength.+ ⁵Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.+ ⁶I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.+ ⁷I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.+ ⁸And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.+ ⁹Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress is to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.+ ¹⁰For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.+ ¹¹Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without--fled from me.+ ¹²I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.+ ¹³For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,+ ¹⁴And I on Thee--I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou art my God.'+ ¹⁵In Thy hand are my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.+ ¹⁶Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.+ ¹⁷O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol.+ ¹⁸Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.+ ¹⁹How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,+ ²⁰Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, From the strife of tongues.+ ²¹Blessed is Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.+ ²²And I--I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee.+ ²³Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.+ ²⁴Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!+
