3 Be to me a sheltering rock where I may always go. Give the command to save me— for You are my rock and my fortress.
4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of an evil, ruthless man.
5 For You are my hope, Adonai my Lord— my trust from my youth.
6 From my birth I have leaned on You. You took me out of my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.
7 I am like an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day.
9 Do not cast me away in the time of old age. When my strength fails, do not forsake me.
