He said: I love you, Lord, my strength,
Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, My God, my rock of refuge, my shield, my saving horn, my stronghold!
God’s way is unerring; the Lord’s promise is refined; he is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
Who made my feet like a deer’s, and set me on the heights,
Who trained my hands for war, my arms to string a bow of bronze.
