Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
2 In righteousness your you will rescue me and you will deliver me incline to me ear your and save me.
Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
3 Become of me - a rock a dwelling place to go continually you have given command to save me for [are] rock my and stronghold my you.
Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
4 O God my deliver me from [the] hand of [the] wicked from [the] hand of [the] wrongdoer and [the] ruthless.
God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
5 For you [are] hope my O Lord Yahweh confidence my since youth my.
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
6 On you - I have supported myself from [the] womb from [the] inward parts of mother my you [were [the] one who] cut off me [is] in you praise my continually.
I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
7 Like a portent I have become for many [people] and you [are] refuge of my strength.
The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
8 It is filled mouth my praise your all the day splendor your.
I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
9 May not you cast away me to a time of old age when fails strength my may not you forsake me.
Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
10 For they have spoken enemies my of me and [those who] watch of life my they have consulted together.
My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
11 Saying God he has forsaken him pursue and seize him for there not [is] a deliverer.
They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
12 O God may not you be far from me O God my to help my (make haste! *Q(K)*)
God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
13 May they be ashamed may they come to an end [the] accusers of self my may they cover themselves reproach and ignominy [those who] seek harm my.
Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
14 And I continually I will wait and I will add to all praise your.
But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
15 Mouth my - it will recount righteousness your all the day salvation your for not I know numbers.
I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
16 I will come with [the] mighty deeds of [the] Lord Yahweh I will bring to remembrance righteousness your to alone you.
Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
17 O God you have taught me since youth my and until now I declare wonders your.
God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
18 And also until old age - and grey hair O God may not you forsake me until I will declare strength your to a generation to every [one who] he will come might your.
And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
19 And righteousness your O God [is] to [the] height who you have done great [things] O God who? [is] like you.
God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
20 Who (you have made see me *Q(K)*) troubles many and calamities you will return (you will preserve alive me *Q(K)*) and from [the] depths of the earth you will return you will bring up me.
You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
21 May you increase - greatness my and may you turn may you comfort me.
You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
22 Also I - I will praise you with an instrument of a lyre faithfulness your O God my I will make music to you with a harp O holy [one] of Israel.
I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
23 They will sing for joy lips my if I will make music to you and self my which you have redeemed.
I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
24 Also tongue my all the day it will utter righteousness your for they are ashamed for they are abashed [those who] seek harm my.
All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
