1. O Lord, my hope and confidenceis plac'd in thee alone;Then let thy servant never beput to confusion.
2. And let me, in thy righteousness,from thee deliv'rance have;Cause me escape, incline thine ear unto me,and me save.
3. Be thou my dwelling-rock, to whichI ever may resort:Thou gav'st commandment me to save,for thou'rt my rock and fort.
4. Free me, my God, from wicked hands,hands cruel and unjust:
5. For thou, O Lord God, art my hope,and from my youth my trust.
