Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

1 I've taken refuge in you, LORD. Don't let me ever be put to shame!

2 Deliver me and rescue me by your righteousness! Bend your ear toward me and save me!

3 Be my rock of refuge where I can always escape. You commanded that my life be saved because you are my rock and my fortress.

4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked; rescue me from the grip of the wrongdoer and the oppressor

5 because you are my hope, Lord. You, LORD, are the one I've trusted since childhood.
