| 3for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. | 3For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy. |
| 4Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah | 4Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. |
