I will sing of your salvation

 1  In you, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame!  2  In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me!  3  Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.  4  Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.  5  For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.  6  Upon you I have leaned from my birth; from my mother’s womb, you have been my strength. My praise is continually of you.  15  My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.  17  O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
