My Lovingkindness and My Fortress...

 My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge,—Psalm 144:2a

God is my lovingkindness (my steadfast love, my mercy). God is my fortress (my castle, my defense, my stronghold). God is my high tower ( my high place, my retreat).  God is my deliverer (my escape). God is my shield (my buckler, my protector, my defense). God is He in whom I take refuge (He is the One to whom I flee to for protection and He is the One in whom I place my trust). 

My God in His steadfast love will make me look in triumph on my enemies. O my Strength, I will sing praises to you, for you, O God, are my fortress, the God who shows me lovingkindness. You are my rock in whom I take refuge.  He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."  My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. My God is a righteous judge, and God who feels indignation every day.  I will call upon the LORD who is worthy to be praised. The LORD lives!  Blessed be my Rock!  Let God be exalted, the Rock of my salvation!
