But the deliverance of the righteous comes from the ; * he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

The will help them and rescue them; * he will rescue them from the wicked and deliver them, because they seek refuge in him.

O, do not rebuke me in your anger; * do not punish me in your wrath.

For your arrows have already pierced me, * and your hand presses hard upon me.
