18 He said, “I love You, O Yahweh, ^(A)my strength.”
² Yahweh is ^(B)my ^[b]rock and ^(C)my fortress and my ^(D)deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My ^(E)shield and the ^(F)horn of my salvation, my ^(G)stronghold.

⁴ For You have been a ^(A)strong defense for the poor,
A strong defense for the needy in his distress,
A ^(B)refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of the ^(C)ruthless
Is like a rain storm against a wall.
