The LORD is my protector; he is my strong fortress. My God is my protection, and with him I am safe. He protects me like a shield; he defends me and keeps me safe.

The LORD alone is God; God alone is our defense.

Be my secure shelter and a strong fortress to protect me; you are my refuge and defense.

Come, let us praise the LORD! Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us!

Why were a thousand defeated by one, and ten thousand by only two? The LORD, their God, had abandoned them; their mighty God had given them up.

Their enemies know that their own gods are weak, not mighty like Israel's God.

Trust in the LORD forever; he will always protect us.

"They will say that only through me are victory and strength to be found; but all who hate me will suffer disgrace.

He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow.

Your people did not conquer the land with their swords; they did not win it by their own power; it was by your power and your strength, by the assurance of your presence, which showed that you loved them.

You are my king and my God; you give victory to your people,

With God on our side we will win; he will defeat our enemies.

He trains me for battle, so that I can use the strongest bow.

The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments;

Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.

Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks.
