I praise your promises! I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me.

I trust you and am not afraid. No one can harm me.

I am faithful to you, and you can trust me. I will sing and play music for you, my God.

You are a strong tower, where I am safe from my enemies.

God alone is the mighty rock that keeps me safe and the fortress where I am secure.

I heard God say two things: "I am powerful,

and I am very kind." The Lord rewards each of us according to what we do.

(By David for the music leader. To the tune "Lilies.") Save me, God! I am about to drown.

I am sinking deep in the mud, and my feet are slipping. I am about to be swept under by a mighty flood.

I am worn out from crying, and my throat is dry. I have waited for you till my eyes are blurred.

There are more people who hate me for no reason than there are hairs on my head. Many terrible enemies want to destroy me, God. Am I supposed to give back something I didn't steal?

It is for your sake alone that I am insulted and blush with shame.

I am like a stranger to my relatives and like a foreigner to my own family.

Don't turn away from me. I am your servant, and I am in trouble. Please hurry and help!

You know how I am insulted, mocked, and disgraced; you know every one of my enemies.

I am crushed by insults, and I feel sick. I had hoped for mercy and pity, but there was none.

I am mistreated and in pain. Protect me, God, and keep me safe!

I am poor and needy, but you, the Lord God, care about me. You are the one who saves me. Please hurry and help!

Don't throw me aside when I am old; don't desert me when my strength is gone.

Don't leave me when I am old and my hair turns gray. Let me tell future generations about your mighty power.
