1For the end, a Psalm of David, an utterance of extreme fear.
2O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.
3Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
4For thou art my strength and my refuge; and thou shalt guide me for thy name's sake, and maintain me.
5Thou shalt bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for thou, O Lord, art my defender.
6Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
7Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
