Be My Rock of Refuge
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; Psa 31:1-3Psa 25:2-31Pe 2:6Psa 22:5Jer 17:18Isa 45:17Psa 125:11Ch 5:20
let me never be put to shame.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; Psa 31:1Psa 17:6Psa 116:1-2Psa 143:111Co 10:13Psa 10:17-18Psa 143:1Psa 17:2
incline Your ear and save me.
Be my rock of refuge, Psa 18:2Pro 18:10Deu 33:27Psa 31:2-3Psa 91:11-12Psa 91:9Psa 42:8Isa 33:16
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for You are my rock and my fortress.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, Psa 140:1-4Psa 59:1-22Sa 17:1-2Psa 17:13Psa 17:8-92Sa 16:21-222Sa 17:12-142Sa 17:21
from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, Jer 17:7Psa 39:7Psa 119:81Psa 71:171Sa 17:45-47Jer 17:17Psa 119:166Psa 22:9-10
my confidence from my youth.
I have leaned on You since birth; Jer 1:5Psa 22:9-10Psa 139:15-16Gal 1:15Isa 49:1Isa 46:3-4Isa 49:5Psa 34:1
You pulled me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is always for You.
I have become a portent to many, Isa 8:181Co 4:9Act 4:13Psa 62:72Co 6:8-10Jer 16:19Psa 61:32Co 4:8-12
but You are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with Your praise Psa 35:28Psa 146:2Psa 104:1Psa 71:15Psa 71:24Psa 145:1-2Psa 51:14-15Psa 63:5
and with Your splendor all day long.
Do not discard me in my old age; Isa 46:42Ti 1:12Psa 71:18Psa 90:10Psa 92:13-152Ti 4:18Ecc 12:1-7Psa 73:26
do not forsake me when my strength fails.
For my enemies speak against me, Psa 31:13Psa 56:6Psa 83:3Jer 20:10Mat 26:3-4Psa 37:32-331Sa 19:112Sa 17:1-14
and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
saying, “God has forsaken him; Psa 7:2Mat 27:46Psa 3:2Psa 50:222Ch 32:13-14Dan 3:15Mat 27:42-43Mat 27:49
pursue him and seize him,
for there is no one to rescue him.”
Be not far from me, O God. Psa 35:22Psa 38:21-22Psa 22:11Psa 10:1Psa 69:18Psa 70:5Psa 143:7Psa 22:19
Hurry, O my God, to help me.
May the accusers of my soul Jer 20:11Psa 71:24Psa 109:29Psa 35:26Psa 35:4Isa 41:111Pe 5:5Psa 132:18
be ashamed and consumed;
may those who seek my harm
be covered with scorn and disgrace.
But I will always hope 1Jn 3:3Psa 130:7Lam 3:26Psa 43:5Psa 71:6Heb 10:351Pe 1:13Lam 3:21
and will praise You more and more.
My mouth will declare Your righteousness Psa 40:5Psa 35:28Psa 71:8Psa 139:17-18Psa 145:2Psa 145:5-14Psa 40:9-10Psa 71:24
and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot know their full measure.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; Php 4:13Php 3:9Mat 6:33Psa 29:11Psa 51:14Zec 10:122Th 1:6Eph 3:16
I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, Psa 119:9Psa 119:102Psa 71:5Deu 4:51Sa 17:36-372Sa 4:9Psa 26:7Psa 66:16
and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray, Isa 46:4Psa 71:9Psa 78:4Psa 145:4-5Psa 78:6Exo 13:14-17Psa 22:311Sa 4:18
do not forsake me, O God,
until I proclaim Your power to the next generation,
Your might to all who are to come.
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, Psa 35:10Psa 36:5-6Isa 55:9Psa 57:10Exo 15:11Isa 40:18Jer 10:7Psa 126:2-3
You who have done great things.
Who, O God, is like You?
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, Psa 138:7Hos 6:1-2Psa 60:3Psa 86:13Ezk 37:12-13Psa 40:1-3Psa 80:18Psa 119:25
You will revive me once again.
Even from the depths of the earth
You will bring me back up.
You will increase my honor 2Sa 3:1Isa 12:1Psa 18:35Psa 86:172Co 1:4-5Psa 32:10Isa 49:13Isa 49:6
and comfort me once again.
So I will praise You with the harp Psa 92:1-32Ki 19:22Psa 33:2Psa 89:18Hab 3:18-19Isa 12:6Isa 57:15Isa 5:24
for Your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praise to You with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
When I sing praise to You Psa 103:4Psa 104:33Luk 1:46-47Rev 5:9Psa 34:222Sa 4:9Gen 48:16Psa 63:5
my lips will shout for joy,
along with my soul,
which You have redeemed.
My tongue will indeed proclaim Psa 71:131Co 15:25Psa 18:37-43Psa 35:28Psa 92:11Deu 11:19Eph 4:29Mat 12:35
Your righteousness all day long,
for those who seek my harm
are disgraced and confounded.
