אֹמַ֗ר לַֽ֭יהוָה מַחְסִ֣י וּמְצוּדָתִ֑י	2a	says to YHWH: “You are my refuge and fortress,
אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אֶבְטַח־בּֽוֹ׃	2b	my God, in whom I trust.”
כִּ֤י ה֣וּא יַ֭צִּֽילְךָ מִפַּ֥ח יָק֗וּשׁ	3a	For, he will rescue you from a hunter’s trap
מִדֶּ֥בֶר הַוּֽוֹת׃	3b	and from a destructive plague.

וְשִׁלֻּמַ֖ת רְשָׁעִ֣ים תִּרְאֶֽה׃	8b	and you will see wicked people’s punishment.
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה יְהוָ֣ה מַחְסִ֑י	9a	For [you say:] “YHWH, you are my refuge.”
עֶ֝לְי֗וֹן שַׂ֣מְתָּ מְעוֹנֶֽךָ׃	9b	You have made the Most High your home.

וְ֝נֶ֗גַע לֹא־יִקְרַ֥ב בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃	10b	and disease will not reach your home,
כִּ֣י מַ֭לְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּ֑ךְ	11a	because he will order his angels concerning you
לִ֝שְׁמָרְךָ֗ בְּכָל־דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃	11b	to protect you in all of your ways.
עַל־כַּפַּ֥יִם יִשָּׂא֑וּנְךָ	12a	They will carry you in their arms

כִּ֤י בִ֣י חָ֭שַׁק וַאֲפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ	14a	For he has clung to me, so I will rescue him;
אֲ֝שַׂגְּבֵ֗הוּ כִּֽי־יָדַ֥ע שְׁמִֽי׃	14b	I will keep him safe because he knows my name.
יִקְרָאֵ֨נִי ׀ וְֽאֶעֱנֵ֗הוּ	15a	He cries out to me, so I will answer him.
