ה תּוֹצִיאֵנִי--מֵרֶשֶׁת זוּ, טָמְנוּ לִי: כִּי-אַתָּה, מָעוּזִּי

Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; for Thou art my stronghold. (Psalm 31: 4)

Pull me out, bring forth, come out, come forth, go forth...

From the net, from the trap, from my possessing, from poverty, from destruction, from disinheritance...

Hidden, concealed, buried, with which I have hidden myself;

For you are a fortress, a harbour, a stronghold, a refuge, source of strength, a rock.

We might even read: Bring forth from hidden traps great strength.
