To the director: With stringed instruments. A song of David.

61 God, hear my cry for help.
    Listen to my prayer.
From a faraway land I call to you for help.
    I feel so weak and helpless!
Carry me to a high rock
    where no one can reach me.
You are my place of safety,
    a strong tower that protects me from my enemies.
