⁸ Keep me as the ^[a]apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,

⁴ For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
^(A)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

² A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
And ^(A)a ^[a]cover from the tempest,
As rivers of water in a dry place,
As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
