I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. | 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 distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears. | 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. |

With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless. | To the loyal, you show yourself to be loyal; to the blameless, you show yourself to be blameless. |
For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. | You, O Lord, are light for my lamp; O my God, you make my darkness turn to light. |
As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. | 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. |
For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? | Indeed, who is God except the Lord? Who is the Rock besides our God? |
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip. | 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. |
