God’s Word
For Everyday Life

In you, LORD, I take refuge.

Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me.

Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go.

Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,

For you are my hope, Lord GOD,

I have relied on you from the womb.

I am a marvel to many,

My mouth shall be filled with your praise,

Don’t reject me in my old age.

For my enemies talk about me.

saying, “God has forsaken him.

God, don’t be far from me.

Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed.

But I will always hope,

My mouth will tell about your righteousness,

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.

God, you have taught me from my youth.

Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me,

God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens.

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles,

Increase my honour

I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.

My lips shall shout for joy!

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long,
