- You are my rock and my fortress.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger. - My future is in your hands.
Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. - Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me. - How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world. - So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the Lord! - Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight! - When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long. - Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. - For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. - The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.” - For the word of the Lord holds true,
and we can trust everything he does. - He loves whatever is just and good;
the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. - The Lord merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born. - What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. - But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love. - Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord,
for our hope is in you alone. - I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will constantly speak his praises. - I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
He freed me from all my fears. - In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles. - Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! - Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. - Then keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies! - Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it. - The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help. - But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil;
he will erase their memory from the earth.
