In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;

let me never be put to shame;

deliver me in your righteousness.
Turn your ear to me,

come quickly to my rescue;

be my rock of refuge,

a strong fortress to save me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress,

for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
Free me from the trap that is set for me,

for you are my refuge.
Into your hands I commit my spirit;

redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth....

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,

for you saw my affliction

and knew the anguish of my soul.
You have not handed me over to the enemy

but have set my feet in a spacious place.
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

my soul and my body with grief.
My life is consumed by anguish

and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,

and my bones grow weak....

But I trust in you, O LORD;

I say, "You are my God."
My times are in your hands;

deliver me from my enemies

and from those who pursue me.
Let your face shine on your servant;

save me in your unfailing love.
Let me not be put to shame, O LORD,

for I have cried out to you....

How great is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you,

which you bestow in the sight of men

on those who take refuge in you....

Praise be to the LORD,

for he showed his wonderful love to me

when I was in a besieged city.
In my alarm I said,

"I am cut off from your sight!"

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

when I called to you for help.

Love the LORD, all his saints!

The LORD preserves the faithful,

but the proud he pays back in full.

Be strong and take heart,

all you who hope in the LORD.
