2. Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily;  (Ps. 17:6)  be my rock of refuge, a fortress of defence to save me.
3. For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name's sake,  (Ps. 18:2;   Ps. 23:3;   Ps. 25:11)  lead me and guide me.
4. Pull me out ot the net which they have secretly laid for me, for You are my strength.
5. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

9. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eye wastes away with grief,  (Job 17:7;   Ps. 6:7)  yes, my soul and my body!
10. For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.
11. I am a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours;  (Job 19:13)  and am repulsive to my acquaintances; those who see me outside flee from me.  (Ps. 38:11;   Ps. 64:8;   Ps. 88:18)
12. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;  (Ps. 88:4-5)  I am like a broken vessel.

14. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15. My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.  (Job 14:5;   Job 24:1;   Ps. 7:1)
16. Make Your face shine upon Your servant; save me for your mercies' sake.  (Ps. 4:6;   Ps. 80:3)

18. Let the lying lips be put to silence,  (Ps. 109:2;   Ps. 120:2)  which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.  (Ps. 94:4)
19. Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men!  (Is. 64:4;   Rom. 2:4;   Rom. 11:22)
20. You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence (Ps. 27:5;   Ps. 32:7) from the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.  (Job 5:21)
21. Blessed be the Lord, for He has shown me his marvellous kindness in a strong city!  (Ps. 17:7)
