I love You, Lord, my strength and my fortress, My Savior, my rock and my God.
My God, my only rock and my refuge, My stronghold, my help and my shield.
I call on the Lord, who's worthy to be praised.
The waves of death grew high and assailed me, I faced all the snares of the grave.
But to the Lord I called in my trouble, He heard me from His holy place.
I call on the Lord, who's worthy to be praised.
The quaking earth then shook every mountain, They trembled with fear at His
rage.
And from His nose and mouth smoke and fire went, The coals by its heat set ablaze.
He made the heavens bow and He came down, A dark cloud was seen under Him.
A cherubim enthroned, He descended, He flew on the wings of the wind.
I call on the Lord, who's worthy to be praised.
Its covering was made out of darkness, Dark waters and clouds were His tent.
A shining brightness blazed all around Him, With hail and with fire giving vent.
Then the Lord filled heaven with thunder, Its strong voice I heard the most high.
He scattered all my foes with His arrows, With lightnings He put them to flight.
I call on the Lord, who's worthy to be praised.
And God revealed the bed of the ocean, Laid bare all the depths of the world.
O Lord, it was the thread of Your thunder, That blast of Your anger unfurled.
From on high You reached down and seized me, You drew me forth out of the deep.
You saved me from the grip of the mighty, From foes who were too strong for me.
I call on the Lord, who's worthy to be praised.
And from all my foes I will be saved.
In the day of my distress, But my strength was in the Lord.
He brought me forth into a spacious place, And He saved me because of His love.
In my righteousness the Lord rewarded me, For the cleanness of my hands He repaid.
I have kept the ways of the Lord, From my God I have not strayed.
His judgments all were ever before me, And His statutes I did not shun.
Before Him I kept walking blamelessly, And I kept myself from my sins.
So the Lord rewarded my righteousness, And the cleanness of my hands in His
sight.
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the upright You show Yourself
upright.
Pure You show Yourself as pure, Unto the wayward You see a ride.
For You have saved the ones who are made poor, But abased those with haughty eyes.
For You, O Lord my God, Shall give unto my lamp its light.
Yes, You, O Lord my God, Shall make my darkness bright.
By You I can run upon a troop, And by my God I'll leap over a wall.
God's way is blameless and His word is proved By those who trust in the shield of
all.
For who is God besides Lord?
And who but our God, a rock who saves?
The God who calls me with strength, And who leads me in the blameless way.
Makes my feet like hind's feet on the height, O the mount He sets me on.
He trains my hands for battles which I fight, So my arms bend a bow of bronze,
The shield of Your salvation.
Unto me You did bestow, With Your right hand You upheld me, And Your gentleness
helped me grow.
And underneath me You enlarged my steps, So my feet would never slip.
I chased my foes till they were overwhelmed, Till they were vanquished I
would not quit.
I shattered them so they would never rise, They fell beneath my feet.
You clothed me with strength for the battle, To subdue those who rose against
me.
Caused my enemies to turn away, Those who hated me I said to silence them,
They cried for help but there was none to save.
Unto the Lord who gave no reply to them, I beat them down as dust before the wind,
I cast them out as dirt in the street.
So from the contentions of the crowd, You have rescued me.
You placed me as the head of all the lands, Those I never knew started serving
me.
They listened with their ears to understand, Like foreign sons who act
deceitfully, These foreigners shall fade away, They'll cringe as they come out of
their caves.
The Lord lives and blessed be my rock, Exalted be the God who saves.
Protecting me God will subdue the wrong, For he saves me from my enemies,
Will lift me over those who did me wrong, From the violent man you can never meet.
So I will give you thanks among the nations, Unto your name, O Lord,
I will sing.
For such a great salvation, You grant unto your king, Showing love unto your
anointed, Unto David and his sons forever.
