God is the one who gives me strength. He clears the path I need to take.
I don’t mean that we are able to do anything good ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do.
I am the Lord, the only God. There is no other God except me. I put your clothes on you, but still you don’t know me.
The Lord is my strength and shield. I trusted him with all my heart. He helped me, so I am happy. I sing songs of praise to him.
God is my strong fortress. He clears the path I need to take.
I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.”
The Lord is King. The Lord wears majesty and strength like clothes. He is ready, so the whole world is safe. It will not be shaken.
Once again there was war with the Philistines, and David went out to fight. He defeated them badly, and they ran away.
“Don’t be afraid! Don’t worry. I am the one who always told you what would happen. You are my proof. There is no other God; I am the only one. There is no other ‘Rock’; I know I am the only one.”
