1. A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
2. Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
3. Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
4. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
5. For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
