3. Be my secure shelterand a strong fortress to protect me;you are my refuge and defence.
4. My God, rescue me from the wicked,from the power of those who are cruel and evil.
5. Sovereign Lord, I put my hope in you;I have trusted in you since I was young.
6. I have relied on you all my life;you have protected me since the day I was born.I will always praise you.
7. My life has been an example to many,because you have been my strong defender.
8. All day long I praise youand proclaim your glory.
9. Do not reject me now that I am old;do not abandon me now that I am feeble.
10. My enemies want to kill me;they talk and plot against me.
