The Lord a Fortress in Adversity

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 In ^aYou, O Lord, I put my trust;
Let me never be ashamed;
Deliver me in Your righteousness.

2 ^aBow down Your ear to me,
Deliver me speedily;
Be my rock of¹ refuge,
A¹ fortress of defense to save me.

3 ^aFor You are my rock and my fortress;
Therefore, ^bfor Your name’s sake,
Lead me and guide me.

4 Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,
For You are my strength.

5 ^aInto Your hand I commit my spirit;
You have redeemed me, O Lord God of ^btruth.

6 I have hated those ^awho regard useless idols;
But I trust in the Lord.

7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,
For You have considered my trouble;
You have ^aknown my soul in adversities,

8 And have not ^ashut me up into the hand of the enemy;
^bYou have set my feet in a wide place.

9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
^aMy eye wastes away with grief,
Yes, my soul and my¹ body!

10 For my life is spent with grief,
And my years with sighing;
My strength fails because of my iniquity,
And my bones waste away.
