“God ^H410 is my strong ^H2428 fortress ^H4581;

And He [fn]sets ^H5425 the [fn]blameless ^H8549 on [fn]His way ^H1870.

A Psalm of David.

The LORD ^H3068 is my light ^H216 and my salvation ^H3468;

Whom ^H4310 should I fear ^H3372?

The LORD ^H3068 is the [fn]defense ^H4581 of my life ^H2416;

Whom ^H4310 should I dread ^H6342?

The LORD ^H3068 is [fn]their strength ^H5797,

And He is a refuge ^H4581 of salvation ^H3444 to His anointed ^H4899.

Incline ^H5186 Your ear ^H241 to me, rescue ^H5337 me quickly ^H4120;

Be a rock ^H6697 of [fn]strength ^H4581 for me,

A [fn]stronghold ^H4686 to save ^H3467 me.

But the salvation ^H8668 of the righteous ^H6662 is from the LORD ^H3068;

He is their strength ^H4581 in time ^H6256 of trouble ^H6869.

For You are the God ^H430 of my strength ^H4581; why ^H4100 have You rejected ^H2186 me?

Why ^H4100 do I go ^H1980 about ^H1980 mourning ^H6937 [fn]because of the oppression ^H3906 of the enemy ^H340?

“Behold ^H2009, the man ^H1397 who would not make ^H7760 God ^H430 his refuge ^H4581,

But trusted ^H982 in the abundance ^H7230 of his riches ^H6239

And was ^H5810 strong ^H5810 in [fn]his evil desire ^H1942.”

“Gilead ^H1568 is Mine, and Manasseh ^H4519 is Mine;

Ephraim ^H669 also is the [fn]helmet ^H4581 of My head ^H7218;

Judah ^H3063 is My scepter ^H2710.

“Gilead ^H1568 is Mine, Manasseh ^H4519 is Mine;

Ephraim ^H669 also is the [fn]helmet ^H4581 of My head ^H7218;

Judah ^H3063 is My [fn]scepter ^H2710.

The way ^H1870 of the LORD ^H3068 is a stronghold ^H4581 for the upright ^H8537,

But ruin ^H4288 to the workers ^H6466 of injustice ^H205.

On that day ^H3117 [fn]their strong ^H4581 cities ^H5892 will be like [fn]abandoned ^H5805 places ^H5805 in the forest ^H2793,

Or like branches ^H534 which ^H834 they abandoned ^H5800 before ^H4480 H6440 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478;

And [fn]the land will be a desolation ^H8077.

Be ^H954 ashamed ^H954, Sidon ^H6721,

For the sea ^H3220 speaks ^H559, the stronghold ^H4581 of the sea ^H3220, saying ^H559,

“I have neither ^H3808 been ^H2342 in ^H2342 labor ^H2342 nor ^H3808 given ^H3205 birth ^H3205,

I have neither ^H3808 brought ^H1431 up ^H1431 young ^H970 men ^H970 nor raised ^H7311 virgins ^H1330.”

For You have been ^H1961 a stronghold ^H4581 for the helpless ^H1800,

A stronghold ^H4581 for the poor ^H34 in his distress ^H6862,

A refuge ^H4268 from the storm ^H2230, a shade ^H6738 from the heat ^H2721;

For the breath ^H7307 of the ruthless ^H6184

Is like a rain storm ^H2230 against a wall ^H7023.

“Or ^H176 let him [fn]rely ^H2388 on My protection ^H4581,

Let him make ^H6213 peace ^H7965 with Me,

Let him make ^H6213 peace ^H7965 with Me.”

Who proceed ^H1980 down ^H3381 to Egypt ^H4714

Without ^H3808 consulting ^H7592 [fn]Me,

To take ^H5756 refuge ^H5756 in the safety ^H4581 of Pharaoh ^H6547,

And to seek ^H2620 shelter ^H2620 in the shadow ^H6738 of Egypt ^H4714!

LORD ^H3068, my strength ^H5797 and my stronghold ^H4581,

And my refuge ^H4498 in the day ^H3117 of distress ^H6869,

To You the nations ^H1471 will come ^H935

From the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776 and say ^H559,

“Our fathers ^H1 have inherited ^H5157 nothing ^H389 but ^H389 falsehood ^H8267,

Futility ^H1892, and [fn]things of no ^H369 benefit ^H3276.”

‘As for you, son ^H1121 of man ^H120, will it not be on the day ^H3117 when I take ^H3947 from them their stronghold ^H4581, the joy ^H4885 of their splendor ^H8597, that which ^H4261 is precious ^H4261 in their eyes ^H5869 and their [fn]heart’s ^H5315 longing ^H4853, their sons ^H1121 and their daughters ^H1323,

“I will pour ^H8210 out ^H8210 My wrath ^H2534 on [fn]Sin ^H5512,

The stronghold ^H4581 of Egypt ^H4714;

I will also eliminate ^H3772 the hordes ^H1995 of [fn]Thebes ^H4996.

“In the first ^H259 year ^H8141 of Darius ^H1867 the Mede ^H4075, [fn]I arose ^H5975 to be of [fn]assistance ^H2388 and a protection ^H4581 for him.

The LORD ^H3068 roars ^H7580 from Zion ^H6726

And utters ^H5414 His voice ^H6963 from Jerusalem ^H3389,

And the heavens ^H8064 and the earth ^H776 quake ^H7493.

But the LORD ^H3068 is a refuge ^H4268 for His people ^H5971,

And a stronghold ^H4581 for the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478.

The LORD ^H3068 is good ^H2896,

A stronghold ^H4581 in the day ^H3117 of trouble ^H6869,

And He knows ^H3045 those who take ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 in Him.

You too ^H1571 will become ^H7937 drunk ^H7937,

You will be hidden ^H5956.

You too ^H1571 will search ^H1245 for a refuge ^H4581 from the enemy ^H340.
