Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
21 (24-21) The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: because I have waited on thee.
21
May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.
22 (24-22) Deliver Israel, O God, from all his tribulations.
