2 Rescue me and free me because of your righteousness.Turn your ear toward me, and save me.
3 Be a rock on which I may live,a place where I may always go.You gave the order to save me!Indeed, you are my rock and my fortress.
4 My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person,from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.
5 You are my hope, O Almighty Lord.You have been my confidence ever since I was young.
6 I depended on you before I was born.You took me from my mother’s womb.My songs of praise constantly speak about you.
7 I have become an example to many people,but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,with your glory all day long.
