He that chastises the nations, shall he not correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall he not know?

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Because of your strength will I wait upon you: for God is my defense.

But I will sing of your power; yea, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Unto you, O my Strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.

He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.

He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the fortresses of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
