* In thee , O LORD ! do I put my trust ! Let me never be put to shame ! * In thy goodness deliver and rescue me ; Incline thine ear to me , and save me ! * Be thou the rock of my abode , where I may continually resort ! Thou hast granted me deliverance ; For thou art my rock and my fortress ! * Save me , O my God ! from the hand of the wicked ,–From the hand of the unjust and cruel ! * For thou art my hope , O Lord Jehovah ! Thou hast been my trust from my youth ! * Upon thee have I leaned from my birth ; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support ; My song hath been continually of thee ! * I am a wonder to many , But thou art my strong refuge . * Let my mouth be filled with thy praise ; Yea , all the day long , with thy glory . * Cast me not off in mine old age ; Forsake me not , When my strength faileth ! * For my enemies speak against me , And they who lay wait for my life consult together : * "God ," say they , "hath forsaken him ; Pursue and seize him ; for he hath none to deliver him !" * O God ! be not far from me ! Come speedily to mine aid , O my God ! * Let them perish with shame who are my enemies ; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt ! * But I will hope continually ; I shall yet praise thee more and more . * My mouth shall speak of thy goodness ,––Of thy sure protection all the day long ; For thy mercies are more than I can number . * I will celebrate thy mighty deeds , O Lord Jehovah ! I will make mention of thy goodness , of thine only ! * O God ! thou hast taught me from my youth , And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds ; * And now , when I am old and gray –headed , O God ! forsake me not , Until I make known thine arm to the next generation ,–Thy mighty power to all that are to come ! * For thy goodness , O God ! reacheth to the heavens ; Wonderful things doest thou ! O God ! who is like unto thee ? * Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles ; Thou wilt again give us life , And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth ! * Thou wilt increase my greatness ; Thou wilt again comfort me ! * Then will I praise thee with the psaltery ; Even thy faithfulness , O my God ! To thee will I sing with the harp , O Holy One of Israel ! * My lips shall rejoice , when I sing to thee ; And my soul , which thou hast redeemed from death ; * My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness : For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded .
