³ For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

¹⁰ The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the upright man running into it is safe.

⁷ In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.

² He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

⁷ O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.

¹⁰ Who gave us salvation from so great a death: on whom we have put our hope that he will still go on to give us salvation;

⁶ There are numbers who say, Who will do us any good? the light of his face has gone from us.

⁷ Lord, you have put joy in my heart, more than they have when their grain and their wine are increased.

² The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

³ Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:

⁴ Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.
