1 EN ti, oh Jehová, he esperado; No sea yo confuso para siempre.

2 Hazme escapar, y líbrame en tu justicia: Inclina tu oído y sálvame.

3 Séme por peña de estancia, adonde recurra yo continuamente: Mandado has que yo sea salvo; Porque tú eres mi roca, y mi fortaleza.

4 Dios mío, líbrame de la mano del impío, De la mano del perverso y violento.

5 Porque tú, oh Señor Jehová, eres mi esperanza: Seguridad mía desde mi juventud.

6 Por ti he sido sustentado desde el vientre: De las entrañas de mi madre tú fuiste el que me sacaste: De ti será siempre mi alabanza.

7 Como prodigio he sido á muchos; Y tú mi refugio fuerte.

8 Sea llena mi boca de tu alabanza, De tu gloria todo el día.

9 No me deseches en el tiempo de la vejez; Cuando mi fuerza se acabare, no me desampares.

10 Porque mis enemigos han tratado de mí; Y los que acechan mi alma, consultaron juntamente.

11 Diciendo: Dios lo ha dejado: Perseguid y tomadle, porque no hay quien le libre.

12 Oh Dios, no te alejes de mí: Dios mío, acude presto á mi socorro.

13 Sean avergonzados, fallezcan los adversarios de mi alma; Sean cubiertos de vergüenza y de confusión los que mi mal buscan.

14 Mas yo siempre esperaré, Y añadiré sobre toda tu alabanza.

15 Mi boca publicará tu justicia Y tu salud todo el día, Aunque no sé el número de ellas.

16 Vendré á las valentías del Señor Jehová: Haré memoria de sola tu justicia.

17 Oh Dios, enseñásteme desde mi mocedad; Y hasta ahora he manifestado tus maravillas.

18 Y aun hasta la vejez y las canas; oh Dios, no me desampares, Hasta que denuncie tu brazo á la posteridad, Tus valentías á todos los que han de venir.

19 Y tu justicia, oh Dios, hasta lo excelso; Porque has hecho grandes cosas: Oh Dios, ¿quién como tú?

20 Tú, que me has hecho ver muchas angustias y males, Volverás á darme vida, Y de nuevo me levantarás de los abismos de la tierra.

21 Aumentarás mi grandeza, Y volverás á consolarme.

22 Asimismo yo te alabaré con instrumento de salterio, Oh Dios mío: tu verdad cantaré yo á ti en el arpa, Oh Santo de Israel.

23 Mis labios cantarán cuando á ti salmeare, Y mi alma, á la cual redimiste.

24 Mi lengua hablará también de tu justicia todo el día: Por cuanto fueron avergonzados, porque fueron confusos los que mi mal procuraban.

1 In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed.

2 Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.

3 Be my strong Rock, the strong place of my salvation; for you are my Rock, and my safe place.

4 O my God, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out of the hand of the evil and cruel man.

5 For you are my hope, O Lord God; I have had faith in you from the time when I was young.

6 You have been my support from the day of my birth; you took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever of you.

7 I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.

8 My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the day.

9 Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.

10 For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those who are watching for my soul are banded together in their evil designs,

11 Saying, God has given him up; go after him and take him, for he has no helper.

12 O God, be not far from me; O my God, come quickly to my help.

13 Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no honour.

14 But I will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all your praise.

15 My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your salvation all the day; for they are more than may be measured.

16 I will give news of the great acts of the Lord God; my words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.

17 O God, you have been my teacher from the time when I was young; and I have been talking of your works of wonder even till now.

18 Now when I am old and grey-headed, O God, give me not up; till I have made clear your strength to this generation, and your power to all those to come.

19 Your righteousness, O God, is very high; you have done great things; O God, who is like you?

20 You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me, will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep waters of the underworld.

21 You will make me greater than before, and give me comfort on every side.

22 I will give praise to you with instruments of music, O my God, for you are true; I will make songs to you with music, O Holy One of Israel.

23 Joy will be on my lips when I make melody to you; and in my soul, to which you have given salvation.

24 My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have been crushed and put to shame.
