Hear, Lord, my righteous plea.
Give ear to my prayer,
and listen to my speech.
Hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Protect me as the apple of your eye.
I want to see your face in righteousness.

By David, servant of the Lord, who sang the words
of this song the day the Lord delivered him
from the power of his enemies and
saved him from the hand of Saul.
He said: I want to praise you, Lord,
my strength. Lord, you are my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
