The Lord's my strength and shield; my heart upon him did rely; And I am helped: hence my heart doth joy exceedingly, And with my song I will him praise.
He put a new song in my mouth, our God to magnify: Many shall see it, and shall fear, and on the Lord rely.

Their strength is God alone: He also is the saving strength of his anointed one.
For God the Lord's a sun and shield: he'll grace and glory give; And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live.
The name of God I with a song most cheerfully will praise; And I, in giving thanks to him, his name shall highly raise.

His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust under his wings shall be: His faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler unto thee.
Yet thou my shield and glory art, th' uplifter of mine head.

God is our refuge and our strength, in straits a present aid;
Sith in his holy name we trust, our heart shall joyful be.
The words which from my mouth proceed, the thoughts sent from my heart, Accept, O Lord, for thou my strength and my Redeemer art.
I cry'd, and, from his holy hill, the Lord me answer made.

Therefore, although the earth remove, we will not be afraid: Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
