Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 Lord, I seek refuge in You; never let me be disgraced.

2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.

3 Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress.

4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.

5 For You are my hope, Lord God , my confidence from my youth.
