To the chief Musician,
A Psalm
of David.
In thee, O LORD,
do I put my trust;
let me never
be ashamed:
deliver
me in thy righteousness.
Bow down
thine ear
to me; deliver
me speedily:
be thou my strong
rock,
for an house
of defence
to save
me.
For thou art my rock
and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's
sake lead
me, and guide
me.
Pull me out
of the net
that
they have laid privily
for me: for thou art my strength.
Into thine hand
I commit
my spirit:
thou hast redeemed
me, O LORD
God
of truth.
I have hated
them that regard
lying
vanities:
but I trust
in the LORD.
I will be glad
and rejoice
in thy mercy:
for thou hast considered
my trouble;
thou hast known
my soul
in adversities;
And hast not shut me up
into the hand
of the enemy:
thou hast set
my feet
in a large room.
Have mercy
upon me, O LORD,
for I am in trouble:
mine eye
is consumed
with grief,
yea, my soul
and my belly.
For my life
is spent
with grief,
and my years
with sighing:
my strength
faileth
because of mine iniquity,
and my bones
are consumed.
I was a reproach
among all mine enemies,
but especially
among my neighbours,
and a fear
to mine acquaintance:
they that did see
me without
fled
from me.
I am forgotten
as a dead man
out of mind:
I am like a broken
vessel.
For I have heard
the slander
of many:
fear
was on every side:
while they took counsel
together
against me, they devised
to take away
my life.
But I trusted
in thee, O LORD:
I said,
Thou art my God.
My times
are in thy hand:
deliver
me from the hand
of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute
me.
Make thy face
to shine
upon thy servant:
save
me for thy mercies'
sake.
Let me not be ashamed,
O LORD;
for I have called
upon thee: let the wicked
be ashamed,
and let them be silent
in the grave.
Let the lying
lips
be put to silence;
which speak
grievous
things proudly
and contemptuously
against the righteous.
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!
Thou shalt hide
them in the secret
of thy presence
from the pride
of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly
in a pavilion
from the strife
of tongues.

Blessed
be the LORD:
for he hath shewed me his marvellous
kindness
in a strong
city.
For 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.
O love
the LORD,
all ye his saints:
for the LORD
preserveth
the faithful,
and plentifully
rewardeth
the proud
doer.
say
Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
your heart,
all ye that hope
in the LORD.
