David’s song of Victory
18 How I love you, Lord!
You are my defender.
2The Lord is my protector;
he is my strong fortress.
My God is my protection, and with him I am safe.
He protects me like a shield;
he defends me and keeps me safe.
3I call to the Lord,
and he saves me from my enemies.
Praise the Lord!
