1. In thee, O Lord, have I waited; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in thy righteousness.
2. Incline thine ear unto me; deliver me speedily; be thou my strong rock, for a house of defence to save me.
3. For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake thou shalt lead me and guide me.
4. Thou shalt pull me out of the net that they have laid in secret for me; for thou art my strength.
5. Into thy hand shall I commit my spirit; thou shalt ransom me, O Lord God of truth.
6. I have hated those that regard lying vanities; but I wait in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities
8. and hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
9. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
