3 Be to me for a rock--a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
