19 Don't stay far away, Lord!My strength comes from you,so hurry and help.
20 Rescue me from enemy swordsand save me from those dogs.
21 Don't let lions eat me.You rescued me from the hornsof wild bulls,
22 and when your people meet,I will praise you, Lord.
23 All who worship the Lord,now praise him!You belong to Jacob's familyand to the people of Israel,so fear and honor the Lord!
24 The Lord doesn't hateor despise the helplessin all of their troubles.When I cried out, he listenedand did not turn away.
25 When your people meet,you will fill my heartwith your praises, Lord,and everyone will see mekeep my promises to you.
