I really love the beginning of this psalm (I used it for the chorus). David goes through a bunch of adjectives/Names of God, all of them dealing with God's strength and unchangingness. But my favorite line comes from verse 31, "For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?"

Lyrics:
Verse 1: The earth trembled at the voice, the voice of the Most High
The foundations shook at the sound of my God and Savior
I will give thanks, I'll sing praise to Your Name for Your lovingkindness
The Lord lives, the lord lives
Chorus: I love You, Lord, You are my Strength
You are my Rock, my Fortress and Refuge
You're worthy of praise, my Stronghold and Shield
You're my salvation, You are my Strength
Verse 2: His way is blameless, His Word is true, a shield about me
He gives strength to me and his hand, His hand upholds me
You train me for battle, who is God but the Lord, who's a Rock but our God?
And Your gentleness makes me great
Verse 1: The earth trembled at the voice, the voice of the Most High
The foundations shook at the sound of my God and Savior
I will give thanks, I'll sing praise to Your Name for Your lovingkindness
The Lord lives, the lord lives
Chorus: I love You, Lord, You are my Strength
You are my Rock, my Fortress and Refuge
You're worthy of praise, my Stronghold and Shield
You're my salvation, You are my Strength
Verse 2: His way is blameless, His Word is true, a shield about me
He gives strength to me and his hand, His hand upholds me
You train me for battle, who is God but the Lord, who's a Rock but our God?
And Your gentleness makes me great
Psalm 18:1-3, 7, 13, 30-32, 34, 46 & 49: "I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled because he was angry. The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! Therefore I will praise you among the nations, O Lord; I will sing praises to your name."
