1. In Thee, Hashem, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in Thy tzedakah.
2. (3) Incline Thine ear to me; deliver me speedily; be Thou for me a Tzur Ma'oz, a Bais Metzudot (fortress) to save me.
3. (4) For Thou art my Sela (rock) and my Metzudah (fortress); therefore for the sake of Thy Name, lead me, and guide me.
4. (5) Pull me out of the reshet (trap, net) that they have laid for me; for Thou art my ma'oz (stronghold).
5. (6) Into Thine yad I commit my ruach; Thou hast redeemed me, Hashem El Emes [Lk 23:46; Ac 7:59].
6. (7) I hate them that are the shomrim of lying vanities [i.e., idols]; but I trust in Hashem.
