1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;let me never be put to shame.
2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge,to which I can always go;give the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,my confidence since my youth.
6 From my birth I have relied on you;you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.I will ever praise you.
