  2. In your righteousness deliver me and set me free; *
     incline your ear to me and save me.
  3. Be my strong rock a castle to keep me safe; *
     you are my crag and my strong-hold.
  4. Deliver me my God from the hand of the wick-ed, *
     from the clutches of the evildoer and the op-pres-sor. 
  5. For you are my hope O LORD God, *
     my confidence since I was young.
  6. I have been sustained by you ever since I was born /
     from my mother’s womb you have been my strength; *
     my praise shall be al-ways of you.

  Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
  As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be: world with-out end A-men.
