Trust in the LORD For Blessings
1   In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.
2   Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be my strong rock, for a house of defense to save me.
3   For  you  are  my  rock  and  my  fortress; therefore  for  your  name's  sake  lead  me,  and guide me.
4   Pull me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me: for you are my strength.
5   Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6   I have hated them that regard vain 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 known my soul in adversities;
8   And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
9   Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
10   For my life is spent with grief, and my years with  sighing:  my  strength  fails  because  of  my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11   I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a horror to my acquaintance: they that did see me outside fled from me.
12   I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13   For 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.
14   But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, you are my God.
15   My times are in your hand: deliver me from the  hand  of  my enemies,  and  from  them  that persecute me.
16   Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
17   Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have   called   upon   you:   let   the   wicked   be ashamed, and let them be silent in hell.
18   Let the lying lips be put to silence; who speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19   Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have wrought for them that trust in you before the sons of men!
20   You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21   Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.
22   For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto you.
23   O love the LORD, all you his holy ones: for the LORD   preserves   the   faithful,   and   plentifully repays the proud doer.
24   Be  of  good  courage,  and  he  shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
