1
I come to you, Lord, for protection; never let me be defeated. You are a righteous God; save me, I pray!
2
Hear me! Save me now! Be my refuge to protect me; my defense to save me.
3
You are my refuge and defense; guide me and lead me as you have promised.
4
Keep me safe from the trap that has been set for me; shelter me from danger.
5
I place myself in your care.
1 You will save me, Lord; you are a faithful God.
6
You hate those who worship false gods, but I trust in you.
7
I will be glad and rejoice because of your constant love. You see my suffering; you know my trouble.
8
You have not let my enemies capture me; you have given me freedom to go where I wish.
9
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are tired from so much crying; I am completely worn out.
10
I am exhausted by sorrow, and weeping has shortened my life. I am weak from all my troubles; even my bones are wasting away.
