The words we choose when we call on God
Change who we are.
God, Lord, Master.
Like a dark dye,
The names we say
Color our souls.
Warrior, defender, hider.
So pick a name for your God
Carefully, for it will hue you
To see, clearer, kinder.
Rememberer of the forgotten,
Stronghold of the downtrodden.

משגב לדך (תהילים ט:י)
Stronghold of the downtrodden. (Psalms 9:10)
