- I love you, O Lord, my strength,
O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.
My God is my rock in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my stronghold. - In my anguish I cried out to the Lord
and called to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears. - To the loyal, you show yourself to be loyal;
to the blameless, you show yourself to be blameless. - You, O Lord, are light for my lamp;
O my God, you make my darkness turn to light. - The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety. - Indeed, who is God except the Lord?
Who is the Rock besides our God? - You have given me the shield of your salvation;
your right hand sustains me,
and your goodness makes me great.
You broadened the path beneath me
so that my feet have never stumbled.
A fool spurns his father’s correction,
but whoever heeds admonition is prudent.
