2 In your justice rescue and deliver me;listen to me and save me!
3 Be my rock of refuge,my stronghold to give me safety;for you are my rock and fortress.
4 My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked,from the clutches of the evil and violent.
5 You are my hope, Lord;my trust, God, from my youth.
6 On you I have depended since birth;from my mother’s womb you are my strength;my hope in you never wavers.
7 I have become a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge!
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise,shall sing your glory every day.
