2Rescue me and make me safe in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
3Be to me a rock for refuge where I may always go; you have given a command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4Rescue me, my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel.
5For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh. I have trusted in you ever since I was a child.
6By you I have been supported from the womb; you are he who took me out of my mother's belly; my praise will be always about you.
7I am an example to many people; you are my strong refuge.
8My mouth will be filled with your praise, all the day with your honor.
