Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,

As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.

To the Overseer. -- 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.

And I am continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on my right hand.

Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have been moved, and I speak not.

Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth hold me.
