3 Be thou my strong habitation,whereunto I may continually resort:thou hast given commandment to save me;for thou art my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord [God]: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb:thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels:my praise shall be continually of thee.
7 I am as a wonder unto many;but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age;forsake me not when my strength faileth.
