1I praise Yahweh, who is like an overhanging rock under which I ◄get refuge/am protected►!
2He is the one who protects me;
3Yahweh, we people are very insignificant/unimportant, so why ◄are you concerned/do you care about us► [RHQ]?
4The time that we live is as short as [SIM] a puff of wind;
5Yahweh, ◄tear open/open up► the sky and come down!
6Cause lightning to flash with the result that your enemies will run away!
7It is as though my enemies surround me like a flood;
8who [SYN] always tell lies.
9God, I will sing a new song to you,
10You enable kings to defeat their enemies;
11So I ask you to save me from being killed by the swords that those evil people carry.
12I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants [SIM],
13I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops.
14I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves
15If good things like that happen to a nation,
