1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected;

do not allow me to be defeated, with the result that I am disgraced.

Since you always do what is fair/right,

rescue me!

2 Listen to me, and save me right now!

Be like a huge rock under which I can hide [MET]

and like a strong fort in which I will be safe.

3 Yes, you are like my huge rock and my fort;

guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].

4 You are the one who protects me,

so keep me from falling into the hidden traps that my enemies have set for me.

5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted,

so I put myself into your care

because you rescued me.
