1. In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;let me never be put to shame!
2. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;incline your ear to me, and save me!
3. Be to me a rock of refuge,to which I may continually come;you have given the command to save me,for you are my rock and my fortress.
4. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5. For you, O Lord, are my hope,my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.My praise is continually of you.
7. I have been as a portent to many,but you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise,and with your glory all the day.
