1 By David, a Psalm sung by the sons of Jonadab, and the first that were taken captive. O Lord, I have hoped in thee: let me never be put to shame.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, from the hand of the transgressor and unjust man.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb: from the belly of my mother thou art my protector: of thee is my praise continually.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me; and they that lay wait for my soul have taken counsel together,
13 Let those that plot against my soul be ashamed and utterly fail: let those that seek my hurt be clothed with shame and dishonour.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness openly, and thy salvation all the day; for I am not acquainted with the affairs of men .
18 even until I am old and advanced in years. O God, forsake me not; until I shall have declared thine arm to all the generation that is to come:
19 even thy power and thy righteousness, O God, up to the highest heavens, even the mighty works which thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
20 What afflictions many and sore hast thou shewed me! yet thou didst turn and quicken me, and broughtest me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou didst multiply thy righteousness, and didst turn and comfort me, and broughtest me again out of the depths of the earth.
