18 I ^(D)will love You, O Lord, my strength.

² The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my ^[a]strength, ^(A)in whom I will trust;
My shield and the ^[b]horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

⁴ For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
^(A)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
