You have the power to save me, and you keep me safe in every battle.
He will say to me, ‘You are my Father and my God, as well as the mighty rock where I am safe.’
God saves me and honors me. He is that mighty rock where I find safety.
God alone is the mighty rock that keeps me safe and the fortress where I am secure.
By your power, kings win wars, and your servant David is saved from deadly swords.
Sing joyful songs to the Lord! Praise the mighty rock where we are safe.
I will sing your praises! You are my mighty fortress, and you love me.
You, Lord, are the light that keeps me safe. I am not afraid of anyone. You protect me, and I have no fears.
You alone are my shield. Your right hand supports me, and by coming to help me, you have made me famous.
I trust you to save me, Lord God, and I won't be afraid. My power and my strength come from you, and you have saved me.”
David left soldiers all through Edom, and the people of Edom had to accept him as their ruler. Wherever David went, the Lord helped him.
He left some of his soldiers in Damascus, and the Arameans had to accept David as their ruler and pay taxes to him. Everywhere David went, the Lord helped him win battles.
My life is in your hands. Save me from enemies who hunt me down.
