Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

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

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

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

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

{A Song or Psalm of Asaph.} Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that 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 on me: yet thy commandments are my delights.

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