He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress.

He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

How long will you assault a man?

How long will you threaten a man? Will all of you throw him down like a leaning wall or a tottering fence?

They fully intend to cast him down from his lofty perch; they delight in lies; with their mouths they bless, but inwardly they curse. Selah

God has spoken once; I have heard this twice: that power belongs to God,
