1 O lord, I have come to you for protection;don’t let me be disgraced.
2 Save me and rescue me,for you do what is right.Turn your ear to listen to me,and set me free.
3 Be my rock of safetywhere I can always hide.Give the order to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked,from the clutches of cruel oppressors.
5 O Lord, you alone are my hope.I’ve trusted you, O lord, from childhood.
6 Yes, you have been with me from birth;from my mother’s womb you have cared for me.No wonder I am always praising you!
