2Deliver me in Thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline Thine ear unto me, and save me.
3Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
4O my God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the unrighteous and ruthless man.
5For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.
6Upon Thee have I stayed myself from birth; Thou art He that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise is continually of Thee.
