In righteousness your you will rescue me and you will deliver me incline to me ear your and save me.

3 Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.

Become of me - a rock a dwelling place to go continually you have given command to save me for [are] rock my and stronghold my you.

4 God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.

O God my deliver me from [the] hand of [the] wicked from [the] hand of [the] wrongdoer and [the] ruthless.

5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.

10 My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].

For they have spoken enemies my of me and [those who] watch of life my they have consulted together.

11 They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”

I will come with [the] mighty deeds of [the] Lord Yahweh I will bring to remembrance righteousness your to alone you.

17 God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.

O God you have taught me since youth my and until now I declare wonders your.

18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!

And also until old age - and grey hair O God may not you forsake me until I will declare strength your to a generation to every [one who] he will come might your.

19 God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].

And righteousness your O God [is] to [the] height who you have done great [things] O God who? [is] like you.
