2incline to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me.
3For my rock and my fortress are you; lead me and guide me so your name will be honoured.
4Draw me out of the net they have hid for me, for you yourself are my refuge.
5Into your hand I commend my spirit: you ransom me, Lord, faithful God.
6I hate those devoted to worthless idols; I trust in the Lord.
7I will rejoice and be glad in your love, because you have looked on my misery, and cared for me in my distress.
