Blessed be the LORD my Strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight . . .
~Psalm 144~
For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
This God, His way is perfect; The Word of the Lord proves true;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For Who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a Rock - except our God?"
~Psalms 18:28-31~
I will love Thee, O LORD, my Strength . . .
The LORD is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my Strength, in whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the horn of my Salvation, and my High Tower.
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. . .
. . . I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.
. . . He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me . . .
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me . . .
. . .
He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms . . .
. . .
Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy right hand hath holden me up, and Thy gentleness hath made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me . . .
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted . . .
. . .
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, Thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: Thou hast delivered me . . .
. . .
Therefore . . .
. . . will I give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto Thy Name.
~Psalm 18~
