The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdues my people under me.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed wet with tears; I water my couch with my tears.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

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

I acknowledged my sin unto you, and my iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

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

Stir up yourself, and awake to my defense, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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

Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for my head; Judah is my lawgiver;

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

I am weary from my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before you.

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

Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the helmet of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
