Be My Rock of Refuge

1In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.+ 2Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.+ 3Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.+ 4MyGod, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.+ 5For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.+ 6On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.+ 7I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.+ 8My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.+ 9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.+ 10For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,+ 11Saying,God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.+ 12OGod, be not far from me; myGod, hasten to my help.+ 13Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.+ 14But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.+ 15My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].+ 16I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.+ 17OGod, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:+ 18Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, OGod, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.+ 19And thy righteousness, OGod, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: OGod, who is like unto thee?+ 20Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;+ 21Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.+ 22I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, myGod; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.+ 23My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.+ 24My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.+
