4. My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person,from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.
5. You are my hope, O Almighty Lord.You have been my confidence ever since I was young.
6. I depended on you before I was born.You took me from my mother’s womb.My songs of praise constantly speak about you.
7. I have become an example to many people,but you are my strong refuge.
8. My mouth is filled with your praise,with your glory all day long.
9. Do not reject me when I am oldor abandon me when I lose my strength.
10. My enemies talk about me.They watch me as they plot to take my life.
11. They say, “God has abandoned him.Pursue him and grab him because there is no one to rescue him.”
12. O God, do not be so distant from me.O my God, come quickly to help me.
