1  ⁱIn you, O Lord, do I take refuge;

let me never be put to shame!

2  In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;

incline your ear to me, and save me!

3  Be to me a rock of ^jrefuge,

to which I may continually come;

you have ^kgiven the command to save me,

for you are my ^lrock and my fortress.

4  ^mRescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

5  For you, O Lord, are my ⁿhope,

my trust, O Lord, from my youth.

6  Upon you I have leaned ^ofrom before my birth;

you are he who ^ptook me from my mother’s womb.

My praise is continually of you.

15  My ^cmouth will tell of your righteous acts,

of your deeds of salvation all the day,

for ^dtheir number is past my knowledge.

16  With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;

I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

17  O God, from my youth you have taught me,

and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
