He said: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: ‘When one rules over people in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God,
He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
I say to God my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?”
Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
“There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
Saul and his men began the search, and when David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he went into the Desert of Maon in pursuit of David.
So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
