¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> Let my prayer come to you, O Lord; give ear to my requests for your grace; keep faith with me, and give me an answer in your righteousness;

¹ In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

² Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

³ Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

⁵ And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

¹⁶ O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.

²³ And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

¹¹ Give me life, O Lord, because of your name; in your righteousness take my soul out of trouble.

¹² And in your mercy put an end to my haters, and send destruction on all those who are against my soul; for I am your servant.

¹ Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

⁴ Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

⁵ They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

⁸ The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

⁹ O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.
