Answer me when I pray, O God, my defender! When I was in trouble, you helped me. Be kind to me now and hear my prayer.

You have kept me from being captured, and I have never fallen.

Nothing will stand in your way if you walk wisely, and you will not stumble when you run.

"He protects the lives of his faithful people, but the wicked disappear in darkness; a man does not triumph by his own strength.

I have always walked in your way and have never strayed from it.

I said, "I am falling"; but your constant love, O LORD, held me up.

He will not let you fall; your protector is always awake.
