2 Because you are righteous, help me and rescue me. Listen to me and save me!
3 Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; you are my refuge and defense.
4 My God, rescue me from the wicked men, from the power of cruel and evil men.
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 you and 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.
11 They say, "God has abandoned him; let's go after him and catch him; there is no one to rescue him."
12 Don't stay so far away , O God; my God, hurry to my aid!
13 May those who attack me be defeated and destroyed. May those who try to hurt me be shamed and disgraced.
14 I will always put my hope in you; I will praise you more and more.
15 I will tell of your goodness; all day long I will speak of your salvation, though it is more than I can understand.
16 I will praise your power, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.
