One verse at a time, slowly
1In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust;let me never be ashamed:deliver me in thy righteousness.2Bow down thine ear to me;deliver me speedily:be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.3For thou art my rock and my fortress;therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.4Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:for thou art my strength.5Into thine hand I commit my spirit:thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.6I have hated them that regard lying vanities:but I trust in the LORD.7I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy:for thou hast considered my trouble;thou hast known my soul in adversities;8And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy:thou hast set my feet in a large room.9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble:mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.11I 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.12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:I am like a broken vessel.13For 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.14But I trusted in thee, O LORD:I said, Thou art my God.15My times are in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:save me for thy mercies’ sake.17Let 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.18Let the lying lips be put to silence;which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.19Oh 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!20Thou 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.21Blessed be the LORD:for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes:nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.23O love the LORD, all ye his saints:for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
