1. Our God who protects us
Rock – A safe place because it’s large and high
Fortress – A safe place because of it’s walls
Deliverer – Someone who protects another
Shield – Standing in the way to prevent attack
Horn of my salvation – Strong, majestic sign of power – proof we are safe
Stronghold – Secure place of retreat
Refuge – Secure place to hide
Savior – One who saves from danger

2. What God does when we pray according to his will
(1 John 5:14-15) And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

3. (Psalm 91:9-11) Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place - the Most High, who is my refuge no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.  For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 

4. David’s godly character
1 Kings 15:5 – David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
Psalm 51:1-3, 13 – Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions,  and my sin is ever before me…. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.
