In my distress I called to the LORD;
I cried to my God for help.
From His temple He heard my voice;
my cry came before Him, into His ears.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
He drew me out of deep waters.
You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.
With Your help I can advance against a troop ;
with my God I can scale a wall.
As for God, His way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.
For who is God besides the LORD ?
And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
-Psalms 18:6,16,28-32
