From Psalm 18 —

Lord, I passionately love you! I want to embrace you, for now you have become my Power! You’re as real to me as bedrock beneath my feet, like a castle on a cliff, my forever firm Fortress, my Tower of Rescue where none can reach me. You are my secret Strength and Shield around me.   – vs1-2                

So all I need to do is call to you, singing to you, the praiseworthy God. And when I do, I’m safe and sound in you.  – v3

I cried out to you in my distress, the delivering God, and from your temple-throne you heard my troubled cry. My sobs came right into your heart and you turned your face to rescue me. – v6

He then reached down from heaven, all the way from the sky to the sea. He reached down into my darkness to rescue me! He took me out of my calamity and chaos and drew me to Himself, taking me from the depths of my despair!  – v16

When I was at my weakest, my enemies attacked – but the Lord held on to me.  – v18

His love broke open the way and He brought me into a beautiful broad place. He rescued me – because His delight is in me!  – v19

What a God you are! Your path for me has been perfect! All your promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you! You are the wrap-around God giving grace to me. – v30

Could there be any other god like you? You are the only God to be worshiped, for there is not a more secure foundation to build my life upon than you. – v31

You empower me for victory with your wrap-around presence. Your power within makes me strong to subdue, and by stooping down in gentleness you strengthened me and made me great! – v35

You’ve set me free from captivity and now I’m standing complete, ready to fight some more!  – v36

I caught up with my enemies and conquered them, and didn’t turn back until the war was won!  – v37

The Almighty is alive and conquers all! Praise is lifted his to the unshakable God! Towering over all, my Savior-God is worthy to be praised!  – v46
