1 IN thee, O Lord, I put my trust, Let me no [hurtful] shame befal.
2 In justice save me from my foes, [By thee] let me escape them all. Incline thine ear, and save thou me;
3 Be thou my strength [my rock] and fort, My dwelling, unto which I may For [help and] refuge still resort. My safety is thy own Command, My [rock and] fortress thou wilt be,
4 From wicked, unjust, cruel men [Do thou] my God, deliver me.
5 For upon thee, my God alone, My trust and hope [do all] depend; Even from my raw and feeble youth, [It's] thou [that] didst me still defend.
