1In you, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

2In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; incline your ear to me and save me.

3Be for me a rock to dwell in, to which I may always come; you have commanded that I be saved, for you are my crag and my fortress.

4My God, rescue me from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and violent man.
