³     Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer,
My God, my rock of refuge,
    my shield, my saving horn,^[a] my stronghold!^(A)

³     incline your ear to me;
    make haste to rescue me!
Be my rock of refuge,
    a stronghold to save me.
⁴ For you are my rock and my fortress;^(A)
    for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

¹⁰ I will say to God, my rock:
    “Why do you forget me?^(A)
Why must I go about mourning
    with the enemy oppressing me?”

⁸ Better to take refuge in the Lord^(A)
    than to put one’s trust in mortals.

³ Put no trust in princes,
    in children of Adam powerless to save.^(A)
