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 strait 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 forever;
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;
