For thou hast for my refuge been a shelter by thy pow'r; And for defence against my foes thou hast been a strong tow'r.
In God my glory placed is, and my salvation sure; In God the rock is of my strength, my refuge most secure.
O God the Lord, who art the strength of my salvation: A cov'ring in the day of war my head thou hast put on.
I, while I live, will call on him, who bow'd to me his ear.
My fortress is the Lord, My rock, and he that doth to me deliverance afford: My God, my strength, whom I will trust, a buckler unto me, The horn of my salvation, and my high tow'r, is he.
For he in his pavilion shall me hide in evil days; In secret of his tent me hide, and on a rock me raise.
