Verse 2
Psalm 18:2
First … in the original language – Hebrew:
יהוה סלעי ומצודתי ומפלטי אלי צורי אחסה־בו מגני וקרן־ישׁעי משׂגבי׃
Next, the English translation that I chose making the Psalm “mine”:
The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer (amp)
I can run to Him for safety (ncv)
He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender (ncv)
