Louvor Deus de Jamile

In you, o lord, have i put my hope; let me never be
shamed.
Keep me safe in your righteousness, and come to my
help; give ear to my voice, and be my saviour.
Be my strong rock, the strong place of my salvation;
for you are my rock, and my safe place.
O my god, take me out of the hand of the sinner, out
of the hand of the evil and cruel man.
For you are my hope, o lord god; i have had faith in
you from the time when i was young.
You have been my support from the day of my birth; you
took me out of my mother's body; my praise will be ever
of you.
I am a wonder to all; but you are my strong tower.
My mouth will be full of your praise and glory all the
day.
Do not give me up when i am old; be my help even when
my strength is gone.
For my haters are waiting secretly for me; and those
who are watching for my soul are banded together in
their evil designs,
Saying, god has given him up; go after him and take
him, for he has no helper.
O god, be not far from me; o my god, come quickly to
my help.
Let those who say evil against my soul be overcome and
put to shame; let my haters be made low and have no
honour.
But i will go on ever hoping, and increasing in all
your praise.
My mouth will make clear your righteousness and your
salvation all the day; for they are more than may be
measured.
I will give news of the great acts of the lord god; my
words will be of your righteousness, and of yours only.
O god, you have been my teacher from the time when i
was young; and i have been talking of your works of
wonder even till now.
Now when i am old and grey-headed, o god, give me not
up; till i have made clear your strength to this your
righteousness, o god, is very high; you have done great
things; o god, who is like you?
You, who have sent great and bitter troubles on me,
will give me life again, lifting me up from the deep
waters of you will make me greater than before, and
give me comfort on every side.
I will give praise to you with instruments of music, o
my god, for you are true; i will make songs to you with
music, o holy one of israel.
Joy will be on my lips when i make melody to you; and
in my soul, to which you have given salvation.
My tongue will be talking of your righteousness all
the day; for those whose purpose is to do me evil have
been crushed and put to shame.
