You are the safe place where I can hide.
You are like a strong tower
    that keeps me safe against my enemies.[a]
I want to live in your house for ever.
I want you to keep me safe,
    like birds protect their babies under their wings.

You have blessed me,
    as you bless all those people who serve you.
