3. For You are my rock and my fortress;for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4. Lead me out of the net that they have hidden 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 worthless vanity,but I trust in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and rejoice in Your lovingkindness,for You have seen my trouble;You have known my soul in adversities,
8. and have not delivered me up into the hand of the enemy;You have set my feet in a broad place.
9. Be gracious to 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 became a reproach among all my enemies,but especially among my neighbors,and a dread to my acquaintances;those who saw me outside fled fromme.
12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.
13. For I have heard the slander of many;fear was on every side;while they took counsel together againstme,they planned to take away my life.
14. But I trusted in You, O Lord;I said, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in Your hand;deliver me from the hand of my enemiesand my pursuers.
