Sustain me as you promised, so that I will live. Do not disappoint me!
Be kind to your servant! Then I will live and keep your instructions.
Then I would not be ashamed, if I were focused on all your commands.
My God, I trust in you. Please do not let me be humiliated; do not let my enemies triumphantly rejoice over me!
for evil men will lose their power, but the Lord sustains the godly.
Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong, for the Lord holds his hand.
As for me, you uphold me because of my integrity; you allow me permanent access to your presence.
Look, God is my deliverer! The Lord is among those who support me.
My soul pursues you; your right hand upholds me.
If I say, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Lord, supports me.
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you – yes, I help you – yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand!
“Here is my servant whom I support, my chosen one in whom I take pleasure. I have placed my spirit on him; he will make just decrees for the nations.
Israel will be delivered once and for all by the Lord; you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
For the scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
For it says in scripture, “Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame.”
