But I trust in you, O Lord! I declare, “You are my God!”

I am silent and cannot open my mouth because of what you have done.

You are my king, O God! Decree Jacob’s deliverance!

Our record of sins overwhelms me, but you forgive our acts of rebellion.

For you give me confidence, O Lord; O Lord, I have trusted in you since I was young.

You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you fed him to the people who live along the coast.

You are the God who does amazing things; you have revealed your strength among the nations.

Will you not revive us once more? Then your people will rejoice in you!

He will call out to me, ‘You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’

For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One.

Then they will realize this is your work, and that you, Lord, have accomplished it.

You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives.

If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.

Remind me of what happened! Let’s debate! You, prove to me that you are right!

Yes, you are a God who keeps hidden, O God of Israel, deliverer!
