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

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to 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 encompassed me: my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head: therefore my heart faileth me.

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

Pour out thy 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;

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

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.
