² Behold, ^(A)God is my salvation,
I will ^(B)trust and not dread;
For ^[a](C)Yah—Yahweh Himself—is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”

⁴ For You have been a ^(A)strong defense for the poor,
A strong defense for the needy in his distress,
A ^(B)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ^(C)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
