¹ LORD, I seek refuge in you; let me never be disgraced. ⓕ

² In your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me. ⓖ

³ 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. ⓗ

⁴ Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive. ⓘ

⁵ For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth. ⓙ

⁶ I have leaned on you from birth; you took me from my mother’s womb. ⓚ My praise is always about you. ⓛ

⁷ I am like a miraculous sign to many, and you are my strong refuge. ⓜ

⁸ My mouth is full of praise and honor to you all day long. ⓝ

⁹ Don’t discard me in my old age. As my strength fails, do not abandon me. ⓐ

¹⁰ For my enemies talk about me, and those who spy on me plot together, ⓑ

¹¹ saying, “God has abandoned him; chase him and catch him, for there is no one to rescue him.” ⓒ

¹² God, do not be far from me; my God, hurry to help me. ⓓ

¹³ May my adversaries be disgraced and destroyed; may those who intend to harm me be covered with disgrace and humiliation. ⓔ

¹⁴ But I will hope continually and will praise you more and more. ⓕ

¹⁵ My mouth will tell about your righteousness and your salvation all day long, though I cannot sum them up. ⓖ

¹⁶ I come because of the mighty acts of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. ⓗ

¹⁷ God, you have taught me from my youth, and I still proclaim your wondrous works. ⓘ

¹⁸ Even while I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, ⓙ while I proclaim your power to another generation, your strength to all who are to come. ⓚ

¹⁹ Your righteousness reaches the heights, God, you who have done great things; God, who is like you? ⓛ

²⁰ 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. ⓐ

²¹ You will increase my honor and comfort me once again. ⓑ

²² 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. ⓒ

²³ My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you because you have redeemed me. ⓓ

²⁴ Therefore, my tongue will proclaim your righteousness all day long, for those who intend to harm me will be disgraced and confounded. ⓔ
