Lord, I seek refuge in You;
let me never be disgraced.

Don’t discard me in my old age;
as my strength fails, do not abandon me.

My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to You
because You have redeemed me.

I have leaned on You from birth;
You took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is always about You.

You caused me to experience
many troubles and misfortunes,
but You will revive me again.
You will bring me up again,
even from the depths of the earth.

For You are my hope, Lord God,
my confidence from my youth.

God, You have taught me from my youth,
and I still proclaim Your wonderful works.

Even when I am old and gray,
God, do not abandon me.
Then I will proclaim Your power
to another generation,
Your strength to all who are to come.

Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for You are my rock and fortress.

But I will hope continually
and will praise You more and more.

Your righteousness reaches heaven, God,
You who have done great things;
God, who is like You?

My mouth will tell about Your righteousness
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot sum them up.

My mouth is full of praise
and honor to You all day long.

Therefore, I will praise You with a harp
for Your faithfulness, my God;
I will sing to You with a lyre,
Holy One of Israel.

I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord God;
I will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.

You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.

Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

In Your justice, rescue and deliver me;
listen closely to me and save me.

I have become an ominous sign to many,
but You are my strong refuge.

May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed;
may those who seek my harm
be covered with disgrace and humiliation.

For my enemies talk about me,
and those who spy on me plot together,

Therefore, my tongue will proclaim
Your righteousness all day long,
for those who seek my harm
will be disgraced and confounded.

God, do not be far from me;
my God, hurry to help me.

chase him and catch him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”
