1  ^oIn you, O Lord, do I ^ptake refuge;

^qlet me never be put to shame;

in your ^rrighteousness deliver me!

2  Incline your ear to me;

rescue me speedily!

Be ^sa rock of ^trefuge for me,

a strong fortress to save me!

3  For you are my rock and my fortress;

and for your ^uname’s sake you lead me and guide me;

4  you ^vtake me out of ^wthe net they have hidden for me,

for you are my ^xrefuge.

5  ^yInto your hand I commit my spirit;

you have redeemed me, O Lord, ^zfaithful God.

19  Oh, how abundant is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you

and worked for those who take refuge in you,

^yin the sight of the children of mankind!

20  In ^zthe cover of your presence you hide them

from the plots of men;

you ^astore them in your shelter

from the strife of tongues.

21  Blessed be the Lord,

for he has wondrously ^bshown his steadfast love to me

when I was in ^ca besieged city.

22  I had said in my ^dalarm,¹

“I am ^ecut off from ^fyour sight.”

But you heard the voice of my pleas for mercy

when I cried to you for help.

23  Love the Lord, all you his ^gsaints!

The Lord preserves the faithful

but abundantly ^hrepays the one who acts in pride.

24  ⁱBe strong, and let your heart take courage,

all you who wait for the Lord!
