1 In You, O Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me not be ashamed for the eon!"
2 In Your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me. Stretch out Your ear to me and save me."
3 Become mine for a Rock, a Stronghold to come to continually. You have determined to save me, For You are my Crag and my Fastness."
4 My Elohim, deliver me from the hand of the wicked, From the clutch of the iniquitous and violent one."
5 For You are my Expectation, O my Lord Yahweh, My Trust from my youth."
6 By You have I been supported from the belly; From the internal parts of my mother, You have been my Strength. In You is my praise continually."
7 I have become like a portent to many, Yet You are my strong Refuge."
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise, The entire day, with Your beauty."
9 O do not fling me away at the time of my old age; When my vigor is exhausted, O do not forsake me."
10 For my enemies commune against me, And those keeping watch against my soul intrigue together,
11 Saying, Elohim Himself has forsaken him; Pursue and grasp him, for there is no rescuer."
12 O Elohim, O do not be far from me! My Elohim, do hurry to my help!"
13 Let the adversaries of my soul be ashamed and finished; Let those seeking evil to me be muffled with reproach and mortification.
14 As for me, I shall continually wait, And I will add onto all Your praise."
15 My mouth, it shall recount Your righteousness, The entire day, Your salvation, for I do not know their number."
16 I shall come with praise of the masterful deeds of my Lord; O Yahweh, I shall mention Your righteousness, Yours alone."
17 O Elohim, You have taught me from my youth, And hitherto am I telling of Your marvelous works."
18 Even when I am old and greyhaired, O Elohim, do not forsake me, Until I should tell of Your arm of power to the next generation, Of Your masterful deeds to all who shall come."
19 Your righteousness, O Elohim, reaches unto the height, You Who have done great things; O Elohim, Who is like You?
20 You Who have made me see distresses, many and evil, You shall again revive me; You shall again bring me up from the abyss of the earth."
21 You shall increase Your greatness, And You shall surround and comfort me."
22 I too, I shall acclaim You for Your faithfulness with the zither instrument, my Elohim; I will make melody to You with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!"
23 My lips shall be jubilant when I make melody to You, Even my soul, which You have ransomed."
24 Moreover, my tongue shall soliloquize of Your righteousness the entire day. For they will be ashamed; indeed those seeking evil to me will be abashed."
