A Prayer For A Lifetime

The Lord is my rock:

• My firm foundation, 
• My solid rock, 
• My mighty rock, 
• My protector.
• God is bedrock under my feet.

My fortress:

• My fort, 
• My strong fortress, 
• The rock where I am safe,  
• Like a castle on a cliff, The castle in which I live.

And my deliverer:

• My liberator, 
• My rescuer, 
• My protector, 
• My rescuing knight.

My God.

My mountain:

• My trustworthy defense, 
• My rock, 
• My shield, 
• My protection, 
• My pathway of escape, 
• The high crag.

Where I seek refuge:

• Where I am safe, 
• Where no one can reach me, 
• Where I run to for dear life, 
• Hiding behind the boulders.

My shield:

• My protector, 
• My shield, 
• My secret strength and shield around me.

The horn of my salvation:

• My strong deliverer, 
• My salvation's strength, 
• My powerful weapon, 
• He defends me, 
• Safe.

My stronghold:

• My place of retreat, 
• My place of safety, 
• My place of shelter, 
• Keeps me safe, 
• The granite hideout.

-Psalm 18:2
