Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.

I have become strange to my brothers, and like a man from a far country to my mother's children.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.

And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

Draw near to my soul and redeem it;
Ransom me because of my enemies [so that they do not delight in my distress].

For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.

For You are my strong refuge.

Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

They lying in wait for my soul shall be ashamed; they shall be finished; they seeking my evil shall be covered with reproach and shame.

But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grey-headed, until I have showed thy strength unto children's children, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

And, as for thy righteousness, O God, up on high, Wherein thou hast wrought great things, O God! who is like unto thee?

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.

My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises unto thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed.

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

{A Psalm for Solomon.} Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
