Hold up my steps in your paths, that my feet slip not.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.

Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

Who holds our soul in life, and allows not our feet to be moved.

Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.

The earth and all inhabitants are dissolved: I hold up the pillars of it. Selah.

You hold my eyes from closing: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

[A Psalm or Song of Asaph.] Keep not silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] Hold not your peace, O God of my praise;

The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pangs of sheol got hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Horror has taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake your law.

Hold me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto your statutes continually.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights.

Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
