1 Lord, I have come to you for protection;never let me be defeated!
2 Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me.Listen to me and save me!
3 Be my secure shelterand a strong fortress to protect me;you are my refuge and defence.
4 My God, rescue me from the wicked,from the power of those who are cruel and evil.
5 Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you;I have trusted in you since I was young.
6 I have relied on you all my life;you have protected me since the day I was born.I will always praise you.
7 My life has been an example to many,because you have been my strong defender.
