1. In you, Lord, is my protection.Never let me be ashamed.
2. Because you do what is right, save and rescue me;listen to me and save me.
3. Be my place of safetywhere I can always come.Give the command to save me,because you are my rock and my strong, walled city.
4. My God, save me from the power of the wickedand from the hold of evil and cruel people.
5. Lord, you are my hope.Lord, I have trusted you since I was young.
6. I have depended on you since I was born;you helped me even on the day of my birth.I will always praise you.
7. I am an example to many people,because you are my strong protection.
8. I am always praising you;all day long I honor you.
9. Do not reject me when I am old;do not leave me when my strength is gone.
10. My enemies make plans against me,and they meet together to kill me.
11. They say, “God has left him.Go after him and take him,because no one will save him.”
12. God, don’t be far off.My God, hurry to help me.
13. Let those who accuse mebe ashamed and destroyed.Let those who are trying to hurt mebe covered with shame and disgrace.
14. But I will always have hopeand will praise you more and more.
15. I will tell how you do what is right.I will tell about your salvation all day long,even though it is more than I can tell.
