Dual Panel1IN you, LORD, I have found refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2By your saving power rescue and deliver me; hear me and save me!
3Be to me a rock of refuge to which at all times I may come; you have decreed my deliverance, for you are my rock and stronghold.
4Keep me safe, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of the pitiless and unjust.
5You are my hope, Lord GOD, my trust since my childhood.
6On you I have leaned from birth; you brought me from my mother's womb; to you I offer praise at all times.
7I have become like a portent to many; but you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth will be full of your praises, I shall tell of your splendour all day long.
9Do not cast me off when old age comes or forsake me as my strength fails,
10for my enemies whisper against me and those who spy on me intrigue together,
11saying, “God has forsaken him; harry him and seize him; there is no one to come to his rescue.”
12God, do not stand aloof from me; come quickly, my God, to my help.
13Let my accusers be put to shame and perish; let those intent on harming me be covered with scorn and dishonour.
14But as for me, I shall wait in continual hope, I shall praise you again and yet again;
15I shall declare your vindicating power, declare all day long your saving acts, although I lack the skill to recount them.
16I shall come declaring your mighty acts, Lord GOD, and proclaim your sole power to vindicate.
17You have taught me from childhood, God, and all my life I have proclaimed your marvellous works.
18Now that I am old and my hair is grey, do not forsake me, God, until I have extolled your strength to generations yet to come,
19your might and vindicating power to highest heaven; for great are the things you have done. Who is there like you, my God?
20You have made me suffer many grievous hardships, yet you revive me once more and lift me again from earth's watery depths.
21Restore me to honour, and comfort me again;
22then I shall praise you on the harp for your faithfulness, my God; on the lyre I shall sing to you, the Holy One of Israel.
23Songs of joy will be on my lips; I shall sing to you because you have redeemed me.
24All day long my tongue will tell of your vindicating power, for those who seek my hurt are shamed and disgraced.
