5 When I'm in trouble, he will keep me safe in his house. He will hide me in the safety of his holy tent. He will put me on a rock that is very high.
6 Then I will win the battle over my enemies who are all around me. At his holy tent I will offer my sacrifice with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7 Lord, hear my voice when I call out to you. Show me your favor and answer me.
8 My heart says, "Look to him!" Lord, I will look to you.
9 Don't turn your face away from me. Don't turn me away because you are angry. You have helped me. God my Savior, don't say no to me. Don't desert me.
10 My father and mother may desert me, but the Lord will accept me.
11 Lord, teach me your ways. Lead me along a straight path. There are many people who beat me down.
