(A)Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
(B)Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
(C)Be my [a]strong refuge,
To which I may resort continually;
You have given the (D)commandment to save me,
For You are my rock and my fortress.

(E)Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
For You are (F)my hope, O Lord God;
You are my trust from my youth.
(G)By You I have been [b]upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You.
