He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

[For the choir director. A Davidic psalm.] LORD, the king finds joy in Your strength. How greatly he rejoices in Your victory!

[Davidic.] The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom should I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom should I be afraid?

Whom do I have in heaven but You? And I desire nothing on earth but You.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever.

How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?

But their "rock" is not like our Rock; even our enemies concede.

Trust in the LORD forever, because in Yah, the LORD, is an everlasting rock!

Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the rain, like streams of water in a dry land and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.

I will keep watch for You, my strength, because God is my stronghold.

To You, my strength, I sing praises, because God is my stronghold-- my faithful God.

Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, because the LORD holds his hand.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will stand up; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

Because I have sinned against Him, I must endure the LORD's rage until He argues my case and establishes justice for me. He will bring me into the light; I will see His salvation.

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.

We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair;

we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.
