                        In verses 2-3, you teach us to say,

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my savior - my God, and my rock in whom I take refuge - my shield and the horn of my salvation, and my stronghold.  I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies."

Thank you, Father, for protecting _____.
