<center>''To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.''</center>
'''1''' In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
'''2''' Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
'''3''' For thou ''art'' my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.
'''4''' Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou ''art'' my strength.
'''5''' Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
'''6''' I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord.
'''7''' I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
'''8''' And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
'''9''' Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, ''yea'', my soul and my belly.
'''10''' For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
'''11''' I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
'''12''' I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
'''13''' For I have heard the slander of many: fear ''was'' on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
'''14''' But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou ''art'' my God.
'''15''' My times ''are'' in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
'''16''' Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
'''17''' Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, ''and'' let them be silent in the grave.
'''18''' Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
'''19''' ''Oh'' how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; ''which'' thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
'''20''' Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
'''21''' Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
'''22''' For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
'''23''' O love the Lord, all ye his saints: ''for'' the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
'''24''' Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
