I love you, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress
and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

He is my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold.

I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.

He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.

They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the LORD was my support.

He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

(Psalm 18:1-3,17-19 NIV)
