¹ O Lord, I have come to you for protection;
    don’t let me be disgraced.
    Save me, for you do what is right.
² Turn your ear to listen to me;
    rescue me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
    a fortress where I will be safe.
³ You are my rock and my fortress.
    For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.

²     I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
    or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
³ No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
    but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.

“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,^[a]
    chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
    will never be disgraced.”^[b]

⁵ They cried out to you and were saved.
    They trusted in you and were never disgraced.

¹⁸ Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me,
    but don’t let me experience shame and dismay.
Bring a day of terror on them.
    Yes, bring double destruction upon them!

¹ Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
    they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

¹⁷ But the Lord will save the people of Israel
    with eternal salvation.
Throughout everlasting ages,
    they will never again be humiliated and disgraced.

⁵ But joyful are those who have the God of Israel^[a] as their helper,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.
