3 Sé Roca de habitación para mí A la cual yo acuda continuamente. Tú diste mandamiento para salvarme, Porque Tú eres mi Roca y mi Fortaleza.

Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.

God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!

13 Sean avergonzados y consumidos los adversarios de mi vida. Sean cubiertos de vergüenza y confusión los que procuran hacerme daño.
