2 Bow down thine ear to me with speed, Vouchsafe [me thy] deliverance, To save me by my Rock of strength, My [Fort and] Castle of defence.
3 For thou art in my strong Rock, and thee I for my [secure] Fortress take; Lead me therefore, and keep me safe, For thy own [name and] glory sake.
4 Pull me out of the net which they For me [in craft] have closely laid, Because thou only art my strength, To which I [trust and] fly for aid.
4 Pull me out of the net which they For me [in craft] have closely laid, Because thou only art my strength, To which I [trust and] flie for aid.
5 Into thy hand I do commit My spirit; for thou [alone] art he, Jehovah, God of truth and grace, Who hast [in love] redeemed me.
