A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.

As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.

For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
