1For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. 2Incline Your ear to me; 3For You are my rock and my fortress; 4You free me from the net laid out for me, 5Into Your hands I commit my spirit; 6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, 7I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, 8You have not delivered me to the enemy; 9Be merciful to me, O LORD, 10For my life is consumed with grief 11Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, 12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. 13For I hear the slander of many; 14But I trust in You, O LORD; 15My times are in Your hands; 16Make Your face shine on Your servant; 17O LORD, let me not be ashamed, 18May lying lips be silenced — 19How great is Your goodness 20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence 21Blessed be the LORD, 22In my alarm I said, 23Love the LORD, all His saints. 24Be strong and courageous,
