Blessed {be} the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. {strong: or, fenced}

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, {and} he saveth them out of their distresses.

I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, {and set me} in a large place. {in distress: Heb. out of distress}

I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice {and} my supplications.

{But} verily God hath heard {me}; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD {is} a God of judgment: blessed {are} all they that wait for him.

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
