#18 My Strenght, My Rock

[Intro] (Symphonic strings crescendo and dramatic choir, leading into a powerful 4/4 house beat and pulsating synth bass) [Verse 1] I love you, LORD, my strength My rock, my fortress, my deliverer My God, my rock in whom I take refuge My shield, my powerful salvation, my stronghold [Pre-Chorus] I call upon the LORD, who is worthy of praise And I am saved from my enemies He rescued me from my powerful foe From my enemies, who were too strong for me [Chorus] (VOICE:) The cords of death entangled me The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me (POLYCHORAL CHOIR (powerful, unison):) THE CORDS OF SHEOL COILED AROUND ME! (ALL (VOICE + CHOIR):) THE SNARES OF DEATH CONFRONTED ME! [Build-Up] (Orchestra and beats swell, timpani roll) (CHOIR (sung in Latin, SSAATTBB):) Et inclinavit caelos et descendit! Et sub pedibus eius nubes! (VOICE (shouting):) He parted the heavens and came down! [Drop] (Explosion of beat, bass, and melodic lead synth) (POLYCHORAL CHOIR (Majestic, in English):) HE MOUNTED A CHERUBIM AND FLEW! (VOICE (sampled, processed):) He soared! (CHOIR:) ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND! (ALL:) ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND! [Verse 2] He made darkness his covering His canopy around him—dark clouds Out of the brightness of his presence hailstones And bolts of lightning came through [Pre-Chorus] He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy He sent great lightning and routed them The valleys of the sea were exposed At your rebuke, O LORD [Build-Up] (Orchestra and beats swell again) (CHOIR (in Latin):) Misit sagittas suas et dissipavit eos! Fulgora multa et conturbavit eos! (VOICE (shouting):) Long live the LORD! [Drop] (Second drop, even more powerful than the first) (POLYCHORAL CHOIR (Majestic, in English):) HE MOUNTED A CHERUBIM AND FLEW! (VOICE (sampled, processed):) He soared! (CHOIR:) ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND! (ALL:) ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND! [Bridge] (VOICE (Calmer, over a breakbeat and piano):) Long live the LORD! Praise be to my rock! Exalted be God my Savior! (CHOIR (whispered, but present):) My strength... my rock… [Chorus 3x] (VOICE:) The cords of death entangled me The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me (POLYCHORAL CHOIR (powerful, unison):) THE CORDS OF SHEOL COILED AROUND ME! (ALL (VOICE + CHOIR):) THE SNARES OF DEATH CONFRONTED ME! [Final Outro] (Beat and orchestra return for a final explosion) (ALL (VOICE + CHOIR at maximum power):) MY STRENGTH, MY ROCK, MY DELIVERER! MY STRONGHOLD! (CHOIR (alone, dissolving into an echo):) My stronghold... forever...
