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.
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 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.
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.
¹⁸ Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous things
proudly and contemptuously
against the righteous.

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 [he made marvelous his lovingkindness] in a strong city.
²² For I said in my haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless 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 [most abundantly] rewardeth the proud doer.
²⁴ Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the LORD.

* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
