World English Bible Classic
[1] In you, Yahweh, I take refuge.
Never let me be disappointed.
[2] Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.
Turn your ear to me, and save me.
[3] Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
[4] Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
[5] For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh,
my confidence from my youth.
[6] I have relied on you from the womb.
You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb.
I will always praise you.
[7] I am a marvel to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
[8] My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your honor all day long.
[9] Don’t reject me in my old age.
Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
[10] For my enemies talk about me.
Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
[11] saying, “God has forsaken him.
Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
[12] God, don’t be far from me.
My God, hurry to help me.
[13] Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.
Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
[14] But I will always hope,
and will add to all of your praise.
[15] My mouth will tell about your righteousness,
and of your salvation all day,
though I don’t know its full measure.
[16] I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh.
I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
[17] God, you have taught me from my youth.
Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
[18] Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me,
until I have declared your strength to the next generation,
your might to everyone who is to come.
[19] God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.
You have done great things.
God, who is like you?
[20] You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,
you will let me live.
You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
[21] Increase my honor
and comfort me again.
[22] I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.
I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
[23] My lips shall shout for joy!
My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
[24] My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,
for they are disappointed, and they are confounded,
who want to harm me.
Never let me be disappointed.
[2] Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.
Turn your ear to me, and save me.
[3] Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.
Give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
[4] Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
[5] For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh,
my confidence from my youth.

King James Version
[1] In thee, O Lord, H3068 do I put my trust: H2620 (QalPerf) Let me never H408 be put to confusion. H954 (QalImpf)
[2] Deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) me in thy righteousness, H6666 and cause me to escape: H6403 (PielImpf) Incline H5186 (HiphImpv) thine ear H241 unto me, and save H3467 (HiphImpv) me.
[3] Be thou my strong H6697 habitation, H4583§ whereunto I may continually H8548 resort: H935 (QalInf)
Thou hast given commandment H6680 (PielPerf) to save H3467 (HiphInf) me; For thou art my rock H5553 and my fortress. H4686
[4] Deliver H6403 (PielImpv) me, O my God, H430 out of the hand H3027 of the wicked, H7563
Out of the hand H3709 of the unrighteous H5765 (PielPtc) and cruel man. H2556 (QalActPtc)
[5] For thou art my hope, H8615 O Lord H136 God: H3069
Thou art my trust H4009 from my youth. H5271
[6] By thee have I been holden up H5564 (NiphPerf) from the womb: H990
Thou art he that took H1491 (QalActPtc) me out of my mother’s H517 bowels: H4578 My praise H8416 shall be continually H8548 of thee.
[7] I am as a wonder H4159 unto many; H7227
But thou art my strong H5797 refuge. H4268
[8] Let my mouth H6310 be filled H4390 (NiphImpf) with thy praise H8416
And with thy honour H8597 all the day. H3117
[9] Cast me not off H7993 (HiphImpf) in the time H6256 of old age; H2209
Forsake H5800 (QalImpf) me not when my strength H3581 faileth. H3615 (QalInf)
[10] For mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) speak H559 (QalPerf) against me;
And they that lay wait§ H8104 (QalActPtc) for my soul H5315 take counsel H3289 (NiphPerf) together, H3162 [11] saying, H559 (QalInf)
God H430 hath forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) him: Persecute H7291 (QalImpv) and take H8610 (QalImpv) him; for there is none to deliver H5337 (HiphPtc) him.
[12] O God, H430 be not far H7368 (QalImpf) from me:
O my God, H430 make haste H2363 (QalImpv/Qere) for my help. H5833
[13] Let them be confounded H954 (QalImpf) and consumed H3615 (QalImpf) that are adversaries H7853 (QalActPtc) to my soul; H5315
Let them be covered H5844 (QalImpf) with reproach H2781 and dishonour H3639 that seek H1245 (PielPtc) my hurt. H7451
[14] But I will hope H3176 (PielImpf) continually, H8548
And will yet praise H8416 thee more H3254 (HiphPerf) and more. H3254 (HiphPerf)
[15] My mouth H6310 shall shew forth H5608 (PielImpf) thy righteousness H6666 and thy salvation H8668 all the day; H3117
For I know H3045 (QalPerf) not the numbers H5615 thereof.
[16] I will go in H935 (QalImpf) the strength H1369 of the Lord H136 God: H3069
I will make mention H2142 (HiphImpf) of thy righteousness, H6666 even of thine only.
[17] O God, H430 thou hast taught H3925 (PielPerf) me from my youth: H5271
And hitherto have I declared H5046 (HiphImpf) thy wondrous works. H6381 (NiphPtc)
[18] Now also when H5704 I am old H2209 and greyheaded, H7872 O God, H430 forsake H5800 (QalImpf) me not;
Until I have shewed H5046 (HiphImpf) thy strength H2220§ unto this generation, H1755 and thy power H1369 to every one that is to come. H935 (QalImpf)
[19] Thy righteousness H6666 also, O God, H430 is very high, H4791
Who hast done H6213 (QalPerf) great things: H1419 O God, H430 who is like unto thee!
[20] Thou, which hast shewed H7200 (HiphPerf) me great H7227 and sore H7451 troubles, H6869 shalt quicken H2421 (PielImpf) me again, H7725 (QalImpf)
And shalt bring me up H5927 (HiphImpf) again H7725 (QalImpf) from the depths H8415 of the earth. H776
[21] Thou shalt increase H7235 (HiphImpf) my greatness, H1420
And comfort H5162 (PielImpf) me on every side. H5437 (NiphImpf)
[22] I will also praise H3034 (HiphImpf) thee with the psaltery, H3627 (Ketiv)§ even thy truth, H571 O my God: H430
Unto thee will I sing H2167 (PielImpf) with the harp, H3658 O thou Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478
[23] My lips H8193 shall greatly rejoice H7442 (PielImpf) when I sing H2167 (PielImpf) unto thee;
And my soul, H5315 which thou hast redeemed. H6299 (QalPerf)
[24] My tongue H3956 also shall talk H1897 (QalImpf) of thy righteousness H6666 all the day H3117 long:
For they are confounded, H954 (QalPerf) for they are brought unto shame, H2659 (QalPerf) that seek H1245 (PielPtc) my hurt. H7451
[2] Deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) me in thy righteousness, H6666 and cause me to escape: H6403 (PielImpf) Incline H5186 (HiphImpv) thine ear H241 unto me, and save H3467 (HiphImpv) me.
[3] Be thou my strong H6697 habitation, H4583§ whereunto I may continually H8548 resort: H935 (QalInf)
Thou hast given commandment H6680 (PielPerf) to save H3467 (HiphInf) me; For thou art my rock H5553 and my fortress. H4686
[4] Deliver H6403 (PielImpv) me, O my God, H430 out of the hand H3027 of the wicked, H7563
Out of the hand H3709 of the unrighteous H5765 (PielPtc) and cruel man. H2556 (QalActPtc)
[5] For thou art my hope, H8615 O Lord H136 God: H3069
Thou art my trust H4009 from my youth. H5271
[6] By thee have I been holden up H5564 (NiphPerf) from the womb: H990
Thou art he that took H1491 (QalActPtc) me out of my mother’s H517 bowels: H4578 My praise H8416 shall be continually H8548 of thee.
[7] I am as a wonder H4159 unto many; H7227
But thou art my strong H5797 refuge. H4268
[8] Let my mouth H6310 be filled H4390 (NiphImpf) with thy praise H8416
And with thy honour H8597 all the day. H3117
[9] Cast me not off H7993 (HiphImpf) in the time H6256 of old age; H2209
Forsake H5800 (QalImpf) me not when my strength H3581 faileth. H3615 (QalInf)
[10] For mine enemies H341 (QalActPtc) speak H559 (QalPerf) against me;
And they that lay wait§ H8104 (QalActPtc) for my soul H5315 take counsel H3289 (NiphPerf) together, H3162 [11] saying, H559 (QalInf)
God H430 hath forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) him: Persecute H7291 (QalImpv) and take H8610 (QalImpv) him; for there is none to deliver H5337 (HiphPtc) him.
[12] O God, H430 be not far H7368 (QalImpf) from me:
O my God, H430 make haste H2363 (QalImpv/Qere) for my help. H5833
[13] Let them be confounded H954 (QalImpf) and consumed H3615 (QalImpf) that are adversaries H7853 (QalActPtc) to my soul; H5315
Let them be covered H5844 (QalImpf) with reproach H2781 and dishonour H3639 that seek H1245 (PielPtc) my hurt. H7451
[14] But I will hope H3176 (PielImpf) continually, H8548
And will yet praise H8416 thee more H3254 (HiphPerf) and more. H3254 (HiphPerf)
[15] My mouth H6310 shall shew forth H5608 (PielImpf) thy righteousness H6666 and thy salvation H8668 all the day; H3117
For I know H3045 (QalPerf) not the numbers H5615 thereof.
[16] I will go in H935 (QalImpf) the strength H1369 of the Lord H136 God: H3069
I will make mention H2142 (HiphImpf) of thy righteousness, H6666 even of thine only.
[17] O God, H430 thou hast taught H3925 (PielPerf) me from my youth: H5271
And hitherto have I declared H5046 (HiphImpf) thy wondrous works. H6381 (NiphPtc)
[18] Now also when H5704 I am old H2209 and greyheaded, H7872 O God, H430 forsake H5800 (QalImpf) me not;
Until I have shewed H5046 (HiphImpf) thy strength H2220§ unto this generation, H1755 and thy power H1369 to every one that is to come. H935 (QalImpf)
[19] Thy righteousness H6666 also, O God, H430 is very high, H4791
Who hast done H6213 (QalPerf) great things: H1419 O God, H430 who is like unto thee!
[20] Thou, which hast shewed H7200 (HiphPerf) me great H7227 and sore H7451 troubles, H6869 shalt quicken H2421 (PielImpf) me again, H7725 (QalImpf)
And shalt bring me up H5927 (HiphImpf) again H7725 (QalImpf) from the depths H8415 of the earth. H776
[21] Thou shalt increase H7235 (HiphImpf) my greatness, H1420
And comfort H5162 (PielImpf) me on every side. H5437 (NiphImpf)
[22] I will also praise H3034 (HiphImpf) thee with the psaltery, H3627 (Ketiv)§ even thy truth, H571 O my God: H430
Unto thee will I sing H2167 (PielImpf) with the harp, H3658 O thou Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478
[23] My lips H8193 shall greatly rejoice H7442 (PielImpf) when I sing H2167 (PielImpf) unto thee;
And my soul, H5315 which thou hast redeemed. H6299 (QalPerf)
[24] My tongue H3956 also shall talk H1897 (QalImpf) of thy righteousness H6666 all the day H3117 long:
For they are confounded, H954 (QalPerf) for they are brought unto shame, H2659 (QalPerf) that seek H1245 (PielPtc) my hurt. H7451
