1In you, O Lord <03068>, I have taken shelter <02620>! Never <05769> <0408> let me be humiliated <0954>!
2Vindicate <05337> <06666> me by rescuing <06403> me! Listen <0241> <05186> to <0413> me! Deliver <03467> me!
3Be <01961> my protector <06697> and refuge <04583>, a stronghold where I can be safe <03467> <06680> <08548> <0935>! For <03588> you <0859> are my high ridge <05553> and my stronghold <04686>.
4My God <0430>, rescue <06403> me from the power <03027> of the wicked <07563>, from the hand <03709> of the cruel <02556> oppressor <05765>!
5For <03588> you <0859> give me confidence <08615>, O Lord <0136>; O Lord <03068>, I have trusted <04009> in you since I was young <05271>.
6I have leaned <05564> on <05921> you since birth <0990>; you <0859> pulled <01491> me from my mother’s <0517> womb <04578>. I praise <08416> you continually <08548>.
7Many <07227> are appalled <04159> when they see <01961> me, but you <0859> are my secure <05797> shelter <04268>.
8I praise <08416> you constantly <04390> and speak <06310> of your splendor <08597> all <03605> day <03117> long.
9Do not <0408> reject <07993> me in my old age <02209>! age <06256>! When my strength <03581> fails <03615>, do not <0408> abandon <05800> me!
10For <03588> my enemies <0341> talk <0559> about me; those waiting <08104> for a chance to kill me plot <03289> my demise.
11They say <0559>, “God <0430> has abandoned <05800> him. Run <07291> and seize <08610> him, for <03588> there is no <0369> one who will rescue <05337> him!”
12O God <0430>, do not <0408> remain far away <07368> from <04480> me! My God <0430>, hurry <02363> and help <05833> me!
13May my accusers <07853> be humiliated <0954> and defeated <03615>! May those who want <01245> to harm <07451> me be covered <05844> with scorn <02781> and disgrace <03639>!
14As for me, I <0589> will wait <03176> continually <08548>, and will continue <03254> to praise <08416> you.
15I will tell <05608> about your justice <06666>, and all <03605> day <03117> long proclaim your salvation <08668>, though <03588> I cannot <03808> fathom <03045> its full extent <05615>.
16I will come <0935> and tell about the mighty acts <01369> of the sovereign <0136> Lord <03069>. I will proclaim <02142> your justice <06666>– yours alone <0905>.
17O God <0430>, you have taught <03925> me since I was young <05271>, and I am still <02008> <05704> declaring <05046> your amazing deeds <06381>.
18Even <01571> when <05704> I am old <02209> and gray <07872>, O God <0430>, do not <0408> abandon <05800> me, until <05704> I tell <05046> the next generation <01755> about your strength <02220>, and those coming <0935> after me about your power <01369>.
19Your justice <06666>, O God <0430>, extends <05704> to the skies above <04791>; you have done <06213> great <01419> things. O God <0430>, who <04310> can compare <03644> to you?
20Though <0834> you have allowed me to experience <07200> much <07227> trouble <06869> and distress <07451>, revive <02421> me once again <07725>! Bring <05927> me up <05927> once again <07725> from the depths <08415> of the earth <0776>!
21Raise <07235> me to a position of great <01420> honor! Turn <05437> and comfort <05162> me!
22I <0589> will express my thanks <03034> to you with a stringed <05035> instrument <03627>, praising your faithfulness <0571>, O my God <0430>! I will sing praises <02167> to you accompanied by a harp <03658>, O Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>!
23My lips <08193> will shout for joy <07442>! Yes <03588>, I will sing <02167> your praises <02167>! I will praise you when <0834> you rescue <06299> me!
24All <03605> day <03117> long my tongue <03956> will also <01571> tell <01897> about your justice <06666>, for <03588> those who want <01245> to harm <07451> me will be embarrassed <0954> and ashamed <02659>.
