LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

my loving kindness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.

LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise him.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to LORD, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

In my distress I called upon LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

But as for me, when they were sick my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom.

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry. Keep not silent at my tears, for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

My flesh and my heart fails, [but] God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

With God is my salvation and my glory. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee.

Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.
