Psalm 18:2

“Yah is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him.

Then Yahweh said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;

Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people said to stone him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.

And David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song in the day that Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.

For who is God, but Yahweh? And who is a rock, except our God,

Yahweh lives, and blessed be my rock; And let the God of my salvation be lifted high,

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Yahweh, my rock and my Redeemer.

Of David. To You, O Yahweh, I call; My rock, do not be silent to me, Lest if You are hesitant toward me, I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.

Incline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly; Be to me a rock of strength, A fortress to save me.

For You are my high rock and my fortress; For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.

I say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; You have given the command to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

I will say to Yahweh, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”

To declare that Yahweh is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

But Yahweh has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.

Of David. Blessed be Yahweh, my rock, Who trains my hands for war, My fingers for battle;

My lovingkindness and my fortress, My stronghold and my deliverer, My shield and He in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.

The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is set securely on high.

O Yahweh, my strength and my strong defense, And my refuge in the day of distress, To You the nations will come From the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, Futility and things of no profit.”

And raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of David His servant—
