my lovingkindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and ʜᴇ in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.

The Rock: ʜɪꜱ work is perfect, for all ʜɪꜱ ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, Hᴇ is upright and just.
There is no one as holy as YHWH, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
And I tell you that you are Peter. Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

For who is God, besides YHWH? Who is a rock, besides our God?
God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
the name of YHWH is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
