2. Bow down thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily: Be thou to me a strong rock, A house of defence to save me.
3. For thou art my rock and my fortress; Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4. Pluck me out of the net that they have laid privily for me; For thou art my stronghold.
5. Into thy hand I commend my spirit: Thou hast redeemed me, O Jehovah, thou God of truth.
6. I hate them that regard lying vanities; But I trust in Jehovah.
7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy lovingkindness; For thou hast seen my affliction: Thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8. And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9. Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
10. For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.
11. Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.
