For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me and guide me.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; for thou art my strong hold.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast seen my affliction; thou hast known my soul in adversities:

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in distress: mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

Let me not he ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that put their trust in thee, before the sons of men!

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvelous lovingkindness in a strong city.

As for me, 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.

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah

For this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: praise is comely for the upright.

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his work is done in faithfulness.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great power.
