2. Bow down Your ear to me,Deliver me speedily;Be my rock of refuge,A fortress of defense to save me.
3. For You are my rock and my fortress;Therefore, for Your name’s sake,Lead me and guide me.
4. Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,For You are my strength.
5. Into Your hand I commit my spirit;You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
6. I have hated those who regard useless idols;But I trust in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,For You have considered my trouble;You have known my soul in adversities,
8. And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;You have set my feet in a wide place.
9. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;My eye wastes away with grief,Yes, my soul and my body!
10. For my life is spent with grief,And my years with sighing;My strength fails because of my iniquity,And my bones waste away.
11. I am a reproach among all my enemies,But especially among my neighbors,And am repulsive to my acquaintances;Those who see me outside flee from me.
12. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.
13. For I hear the slander of many;Fear is on every side;While they take counsel together against me,They scheme to take away my life.
