You are our stronghold, deliverer and shield.
You are an ever-present help in our time of trouble.
Keep us mindful of Your Most High dwelling where no harm will overtake.
Thank You for being our mighty rock.
Your refuge is a strong tower against our foes.
And for this we are grateful.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
