^4 (E)Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
    from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
⁵ For you, O Lord, are my ^(F)hope,
    my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
⁶ Upon you I have leaned ^(G)from before my birth;
    you are he who ^(H)took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

⁷ I have been as ^(I)a portent to many,
    but you are my strong refuge.
⁸ My ^(J)mouth is filled with your praise,
    and with your glory all the day.

¹⁷ O God, from my youth you have taught me,
    and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
¹⁸ So even to ^(A)old age and gray hairs,
    O God, ^(B)do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
    your power to all those to come.
¹⁹ Your ^(C)righteousness, O God,
    reaches the high heavens.
You who have done ^(D)great things,
    O God, ^(E)who is like you?
²⁰ You who have ^(F)made me see many troubles and calamities
    will ^(G)revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
    you will bring me up again.
²¹ You will increase my greatness
    and comfort me again.

²² I will also praise you with ^(H)the harp
    for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
    O ^(I)Holy One of Israel.
