3 Be my strong refuge,To which I may resort continually;You have given the commandment to save me,For You are 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 You are my hope, O Lord God;You are my trust from my youth.
6 By You I have been upheld from birth;You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.My praise shall be continually of You.
7 I have become as a wonder to many,But You are my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with Your praiseAnd with Your glory all the day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
