He will dwell on the heights— his refuge will be an impregnable cliff. His bread will be provided, his water assured.

Deliver me from my enemies, Adonai. I hide myself in You.

My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of an evil, ruthless man.

In Your mercy cut off my enemies and destroy all who harass my soul, for I am Your servant.

“Because he has devoted his love to Me, I will deliver him. I will set him securely on high, because he knows My Name.

For the music director, a psalm of David.
