Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh, my confidence from my youth.

I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.


verse #8

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.


verse #9

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

Increase my honor and comfort me again.

My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
