54 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite?
55 O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road?
56 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness?
57 O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies?
58 Wilt thou make my path straight before me?
59 Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way?
60 But that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.
61 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee for ever.
62 I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh.
63 Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm.
64 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh.
