1. Lord, I have gone to you for safety. Don't let me ever be put to shame. Save me, because you do what is right.
2. Pay attention to me. Come quickly to help me. Be the rock I go to for safety. Be the strong fort that saves me.
3. You are my rock and my fort. Lead me and guide me for the honor of your name.
4. Free me from the trap that is set for me. You are my place of safety.
5. Into your hands I commit my very life. Lord, set me free. You are my faithful God.
6. I hate those who worship worthless statues of gods. I trust in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and full of joy because you love me. You saw that I was hurting. You took note of my great pain.
8. You have not handed me over to the enemy. You have put me in a wide and safe place.
9. Lord, show me your favor. I'm in deep trouble. I'm so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.
10. Pain has taken over my life. My years are spent in groaning. I have no strength because I'm hurting so much. My body is getting weaker and weaker.
11. My neighbors make fun of me because I have so many enemies. My friends are afraid of me. Those who see me on the street run away from me.
12. They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead. I have become like broken pottery.
13. I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.
14. But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."
15. My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.
