1 In you, O Lord, I find my refuge; never let me be put to shame: my rock, my fortress, help me, guide me; come for the sake of your great name! Into your hands I trust my spirit, Lord God of truth, redeeming me: from falsehood and from fears you save me; you gave me space, and I was free. 2 Now once again show me your mercy; these heavy years are filled with grief: friend, foe and neighbour all discard me, leave me for dead, with no relief. I hear the whispering tongues of many; fears lie in wait on every side: they have been plotting all together; threats to my life are multiplied. 3 But as for me, I trust in you, Lord; I said that you, O God, are mine: my times are in your hands; O save me from all their hands, by grace divine! O let your face shine on your servant! Save me by your unfailing love: let me not share the fate of liars; come now with mercies from above. 4 For those who fear you, such great goodness, your treasured blessings, are outpoured; in your safe dwelling you protect me from wounds and words I praise you, Lord! He showed his love within the city, guarding his people, judging wrong: love him, all you who trust his mercy; take heart, and in the Lord be strong!
