For You are my rock and my fortress.



For You have been a stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of tyrants

Even today I am declaring that I will restore double [your former prosperity] to you [as firstborn among nations].
