The rock

He said: Jehovah is my rock and my fortress. He is my Savior,

He is the Rock! His work is perfect. For all His ways are just. He is a God of faithfulness and without evil. He is just and upright.

I will ask God, my rock: Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk around in mourning while the enemy oppresses me?

He that ruleth
