¹ A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did trust in Thee.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

² Jehovah `is' my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God `is' my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.

³ The `Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.

⁴ Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.

¹ To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' -- A song. God `is' to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.

⁷ How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

²⁹ The way of Jehovah `is' strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.

²⁶ In the fear of Jehovah `is' strong confidence, And to His sons there is a refuge.

¹⁷ O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God `is' my tower, the God of my kindness!

¹ A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation,

² Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou `art' God.

³ Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.

² Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.

³ For my rock and my bulwark `art' Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.

⁴ Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou `art' my strength.

⁵ Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.

⁶ I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.

⁸ Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

⁹ Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

¹⁰ All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

⁷ Good `is' Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.

⁴ For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow from heat, When the spirit of the terrible `is' as a storm -- a wall.

⁵ Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him `is' my hope.

⁶ Only -- He `is' my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am not moved.

⁷ On God `is' my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my strength, my refuge `is' in God.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him your heart, God `is' a refuge for us. Selah.

⁹ Only -- vanity `are' the low, a lie the high. In balances to go up they than vanity `are' lighter.

⁹ And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

¹⁰ They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

¹¹ Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

³ Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark `art' Thou.

¹ By David. Jehovah `is' my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah `is' the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?

² When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.

³ Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I `am' confident.

⁴ One `thing' I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,'

³ For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.

⁴ With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler `is' His truth.

⁵ Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day,
