⁹ If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,

¹ Lord, through all the generations
    you have been our home!

⁴ I look for someone to come and help me,
    but no one gives me a passing thought!
No one will help me;
    no one cares a bit what happens to me.
⁵ Then I pray to you, O Lord.
    I say, “You are my place of refuge.
    You are all I really want in life.
