1	To 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.
			2	Bow down# thine ear to me; deliver# me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save# me. [my...: Heb. to me for a rock of strength]
			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. [a broken...: Heb. a vessel that perisheth]
			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. [silent...: or, cut off for]
			18	Let the lying lips be put to silence# ; which speak# grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. [grievous...: Heb. a hard thing]
			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. [strong: or, fenced]
			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.
