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.
I want to live in your tent[a] forever.
    I want to hide where you can protect me. Selah

    and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.[a](F)
