Instead, you will put them to flight
when you aim your bow at their faces.

Listen closely to me; rescue me quickly.
Be a rock of refuge for me,
a mountain fortress to save me.

A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.

For the choir director: according to “The Lilies.” A Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.My heart is moved by a noble theme
as I recite my verses to the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

Let their table set before them be a snare,
and let it be a trap for their allies.

Be a rock of refuge for me,
where I can always go.
Give the command to save me,
for You are my rock and fortress.

There must not be a strange god among you;
you must not bow down to a foreign god.

Better a day in Your courts
than a thousand anywhere else.
I would rather be at the door of the house of my God
than to live in the tents of wicked people.

He will cover you with His feathers;
you will take refuge under His wings.
His faithfulness will be a protective shield.
