1. Lord, I depend on you for protection. Don't let me be disappointed.
|
1. In thee , O LORD H3068 , do I put my trust H2620 : let me never H408 H5769 be put to confusion H954 .
|
|
2. You always do what is right, so come and save me. Listen to me and save me.
|
2. Deliver H5337 me in thy righteousness H6666 , and cause me to escape H6403 : incline H5186 thine ear H241 unto H413 me , and save H3467 me.
|
|
3. Be my Rock, my place of safety. Be my fortress and protect me! You are my Rock and my protection.
|
3. Be H1961 thou my strong H6697 habitation H4583 , whereunto I may continually H8548 resort H935 : thou hast given commandment H6680 to save H3467 me; for H3588 thou H859 art my rock H5553 and my fortress H4686 .
|
|
4. My God, save me from wicked people. Save me from cruel, evil people.
|
4. Deliver H6403 me , O my God H430 , out of the hand H4480 H3027 of the wicked H7563 , out of the hand H4480 H3709 of the unrighteous H5765 and cruel H2556 man.
|
|
5. My Lord God, you are my hope. I have trusted you since I was a young boy.
|
5. For H3588 thou H859 art my hope H8615 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 : thou art my trust H4009 from my youth H4480 H5271 .
|
|
6. I depended on you even before I was born. I relied on you even in my mother's womb. I have always prayed to you.
|
6. By H5921 thee have I been holden up H5564 from the womb H4480 H990 : thou H859 art he that took H1491 me out of my mother H517 's bowels H4480 H4578 : my praise H8416 shall be continually H8548 of thee.
|
|
7. You are my source of strength, so I have been an example to others.
|
7. I am H1961 as a wonder H4159 unto many H7227 ; but thou H859 art my strong H5797 refuge H4268 .
|
|
8. I am always singing about the wonderful things you do.
|
8. Let my mouth H6310 be filled H4390 with thy praise H8416 and with thy honor H8597 all H3605 the day H3117 .
|
|
9. Don't throw me away just because I am old. Don't leave me as I lose my strength.
|
9. Cast me not off H7993 H408 in the time H6256 of old age H2209 ; forsake H5800 me not H408 when my strength H3581 faileth H3615 .
|
|
10. My enemies make plans against me. They have met together and are making plans to kill me.
|
10. For H3588 mine enemies H341 speak H559 against me ; and they that lay wait for H8104 my soul H5315 take counsel H3289 together H3162 ,
|
|
11. They say, "Go get him! God has left him, so there is no one to help him."
|
11. Saying H559 , God H430 hath forsaken H5800 him: persecute H7291 and take H8610 him; for H3588 there is none H369 to deliver H5337 him .
|
|
12. God, don't leave me! My God, hurry and help me!
|
12. O God H430 , be not H408 far H7368 from H4480 me : O my God H430 , make haste H2439 for my help H5833 .
|
|
13. Defeat my enemies. Destroy them completely! They are trying to hurt me. Let them suffer shame and disgrace.
|
13. Let them be confounded H954 and consumed H3615 that are adversaries H7853 to my soul H5315 ; let them be covered H5844 with reproach H2781 and dishonor H3639 that seek H1245 my hurt H7451 .
|
|
14. Then I will always trust in you and praise you more and more.
|
14. But I H589 will hope H3176 continually H8548 , and will yet praise H8416 thee more and more H3254 .
|
|
15. I will tell people how good you are. I will tell about all the times you saved me� too many times to count.
|
15. My mouth H6310 shall show forth H5608 thy righteousness H6666 and thy salvation H8668 all H3605 the day H3117 ; for H3588 I know H3045 not H3808 the numbers H5615 thereof .
|
|
16. I will tell about your greatness, my Lord God. I will talk only about you and your goodness.
|
16. I will go H935 in the strength H1369 of the Lord H136 GOD H3069 : I will make mention H2142 of thy righteousness H6666 , even of thine only H905 .
|
|
17. God, you have taught me since I was a young boy. And to this day I have told people about the wonderful things you do.
|
17. O God H430 , thou hast taught H3925 me from my youth H4480 H5271 : and hitherto H5704 H2008 have I declared H5046 thy wondrous works H6381 .
|
|
18. Now that I am old and my hair is gray, don't leave me, God. I must tell the next generation about your power and greatness.
|
18. Now also H1571 when H5704 I am old H2209 and grayheaded H7872 , O God H430 , forsake H5800 me not H408 ; until H5704 I have showed H5046 thy strength H2220 unto this generation H1755 , and thy power H1369 to every one H3605 that is to come H935 .
|
|
19. God, your goodness reaches far above the skies. You have done wonderful things. God, there is no one like you.
|
19. Thy righteousness H6666 also , O God H430 , is very H5704 high H4791 , who H834 hast done H6213 great things H1419 : O God H430 , who H4310 is like unto thee H3644 !
|
|
20. You have let me see troubles and hard times, but you will give me new life; you will lift me up from this pit of death!
|
20. Thou , which H834 hast showed H7200 me great H7227 and sore H7451 troubles H6869 , shalt quicken H2421 me again H7725 , and shalt bring me up H5927 again H7725 from the depths H4480 H8415 of the earth H776 .
|
|
21. You will help me do even greater things. You will comfort me again!
|
21. Thou shalt increase H7235 my greatness H1420 , and comfort H5162 me on every side H5437 .
|
|
22. I will play the harp and praise you. My God, I will sing about your faithfulness. I will play songs on my lyre for the Holy One of Israel.
|
22. I H589 will also H1571 praise H3034 thee with the psaltery H3627 H5035 , even thy truth H571 , O my God H430 : unto thee will I sing H2167 with the harp H3658 , O thou Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
23. I will shout for joy, singing songs of praise to you for saving me.
|
23. My lips H8193 shall greatly rejoice H7442 when H3588 I sing H2167 unto thee ; and my soul H5315 , which H834 thou hast redeemed H6299 .
|
|
24. My tongue will sing about your goodness all the time, because those who wanted to kill me have been defeated and disgraced.
|
24. My tongue H3956 also H1571 shall talk H1897 of thy righteousness H6666 all H3605 the day H3117 long: for H3588 they are confounded H954 , for H3588 they are brought unto shame H2659 , that seek H1245 my hurt H7451 .
