5 The metaphor of the high ridge pictures God as a rocky, relatively inaccessible summit, where one would be able to find protection from enemies. See 1 Sam 23:25, 28.
6 Heb “name.” The Hebrew term שֵׁם (shem, “name”) refers here to the Lord’s reputation. (The English term “name” is often used the same way.)
7 The present translation assumes that the imperfect verbal forms are generalizing, “you lead me and guide me.” Other options are to take them as an expression of confidence about the future, “you will lead me and guide me” (cf. ), or as expressing a prayer, “lead me and guide me” (cf. , , ).
8 Heb “bring me out.” The translation assumes that the imperfect verbal form expresses the psalmist’s confidence about the future. Another option is to take the form as expressing a prayer, “free me.”

In other versions

For you are my rock and my fortress;

and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me;

you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,

for you are my refuge.

Since you are my rock and my fortress,

for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,

for you are my refuge.

For you are my rock and my fortress;

you lead and guide me

for your name’s sake.

You will free me from the net

that is secretly set for me,

for you are my refuge.

You are my rock and my fortress.

For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.

Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,

for I find protection in you alone.

For you are my rock and my fortress.

So, for the sake of your name,

lead me and guide me.

Bring me out of the net that they have secretly set for me,

for you are my refuge.

For thou art my rock and my fortress;

Therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:

For thou art my strength.
