My Rock, My Shield, My Stronghold

My rock, my fortress, my deliverer

I take refuge in you

My shield, my strength, my salvation

I find security in your presence

My stronghold, my tower, my savior

I run to you, and I am safe

 

Swirling in the waves

Surrounded by enemies

Overwhelmed by destruction

Snared by the grave

 

In distress I call out

And you hear me

 

The earth trembles

Consumed by fire

Burning coals

Smoke rising

Heavens part

And darkness surrounds

 

Out of brightness

Bolts of lightning

The Lord thunders

The Most High resounds

 

Enemies are scattered

Sea valleys exposed

Foundations laid bare

At the rebuke of the Lord

 

Reaching down, taking hold

Rescuing, supporting

Bringing me to a spacious place

Because he delights in me

 

My rock, my fortress, my deliverer

I take refuge in you

My shield, my strength, my salvation

I find security in your presence

My stronghold, my tower, my savior

I run to you, and I am safe

 

2 Samuel 22:1-20
