He said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
“The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
“There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
