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

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.

{A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God:

The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Trouble and anguish have taken hold upon me: thy commandments are my delights.

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