Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit

Psalm subtitle:For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

Verse1In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

Verse2Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.

Verse3For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.

Verse4You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.

Verse5Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.

Verse6I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.

Verse7I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.

Verse8You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.

Verse9Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

Verse10For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

Verse11Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.

Verse12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.

Verse13For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

Verse14But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

Verse15My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.

Verse16Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

Verse17O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol.

Verse18May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.

Verse19How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!

Verse20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.

Verse21Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.

Verse22In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.

Verse23Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.

Verse24Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
