Latin text
- 1 Victori canticum David.
- 2 In te Domine speravi non confundar in aeternum in iustitia tua salva me.
- 3 Inclina ad me aurem tuam velociter libera me esto mihi in lapidem fortissimum et in domum munitam ut salves me.
- 4 Quia petra mea et munitio mea tu es et propter nomen tuum dux meus eris et enutries me.
- 5 Educes me de rete quod absconderunt mihi quia tu fortitudo mea es.
- 6 In manu tua commendabo spiritum meum redemisti me Domine Deus veritatis.
- 7 Odisti custodientes vanitates frustra ego autem in Domino confisus sum.
- 8 Exultabo et laetabor in misericordia tua quia vidisti adflictionem meam cognovisti tribulationes animae meae.
- 9 Et non conclusisti me in manibus inimici posuisti in latitudine pedes meos.
- 10 Miserere mei Domine quoniam tribulor caligavit in furore oculus meus anima mea et venter meus.
- 11 Quia consumptae sunt in maerore vitae meae et anni mei in gemitu infirmata est in iniquitate fortitudo mea et ossa mea contabuerunt.
- 12 Apud omnes hostes meos factus sum obprobrium et vicinis meis nimis et timor notis meis qui videbant me in plateis fugiebant me.
- 13 Oblivioni traditus sum quasi mortuus a corde factus sum quasi vas perditum.
- 14 Audivi enim obprobrium multorum congregationem in circuitu cum inirent consilium adversum me et ut auferrent animam meam cogitarent.
- 15 Ego autem in te speravi Domine dixi Deus meus es tu.
- 16 In manu tua tempora mea libera me de manu inimicorum meorum et persequentium me.
- 17 Ostende faciem tuam super servum tuum salva me in misericordia tua.
- 18 Domine ne confundar quia invocavi te confundantur impii taceant in inferno.
- 19 Muta fiant labia mendacii quae loquuntur contra iustum vetera in superbia et despectione.
- 20 Quam multa est bonitas tua quam abscondisti timentibus te operatus es sperantibus in te in conspectu filiorum hominum.
- 21 Abscondes eos in protectione vultus tui a duritia viri abscondes eos in umbra a contradictione linguarum.
- 22 Benedictus Dominus qui mirabilem fecit misericordiam suam mihi in civitate munita.
- 23 Ego autem dixi in stupore meo proiectus sum de conspectu oculorum eius ergone audisti vocem deprecationis meae cum clamarem ad te.
- 24 Diligite Dominum omnes sancti eius fideles servat Dominus et retribuet his qui satis operantur superbiam.
- 25 Confortamini et roboretur cor vestrum omnes qui expectatis Dominum.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer
English text
- 1 In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust : let me never be put to confusion, deliver me in thy righteousness.
- 2 Bow down thine ear to me : make haste to deliver me.
- 3 And be thou my strong rock, and house of defence : that thou mayest save me.
- 4 For thou art my strong rock, and my castle : be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy Name's sake.
- 5 Draw me out of the net that they have laid privily for me : for thou art my strength.
- 6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit : for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth.
- 7 I have hated them that hold of superstitious vanities : and my trust hath been in the Lord.
- 8 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy : for thou hast considered my trouble, and hast known my soul in adversities.
- 9 Thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy : but hast set my feet in a large room.
- 10 Have mercy upon me, O Lord , for I am in trouble : and mine eye is consumed for very heaviness; yea, my soul and my body.
- 11 For my life is waxen old with heaviness : and my years with mourning.
- 12 My strength faileth me, because of mine iniquity : and my bones are consumed.
- 13 I became a reproof among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours : and they of mine acquaintance were afraid of me; and they that did see me without conveyed themselves from me.
- 14 I am clean forgotten, as a dead man out of mind : I am become like a broken vessel.
- 15 For I have heard the blasphemy of the multitude : and fear is on every side, while they conspire together against me, and take their counsel to take away my life.
- 16 But my hope hath been in thee, O Lord : I have said, Thou art my God.
- 17 My time is in thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies : and from them that persecute me.
- 18 Shew thy servant the light of thy countenance : and save me for thy mercy's sake.
- 19 Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee : let the ungodly be put to confusion, and be put to silence in the grave.
- 20 Let the lying lips be put to silence : which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully, speak against the righteous.
- 21 O how plentiful is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee : and that thou hast prepared for them that put their trust in thee, even before the sons of men!
- 22 Thou shalt hide them privily by thine own presence from the provoking of all men : thou shalt keep them secretly in thy tabernacle from the strife of tongues.
- 23 Thanks be to the Lord : for he hath shewed me marvellous great kindness in a strong city.
- 24 And when I made haste, I said : I am cast out of the sight of thine eyes.
- 25 Nevertheless, thou heardest the voice of my prayer : when I cried unto thee.
- 26 O love the Lord, all ye his saints : for the Lord preserveth them that are faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.
- 27 Be strong, and he shall establish your heart : all ye that put your trust in the Lord.
