I will love You, O Lord, my strength…I will call upon the LORD, Who is worthy to be praised…For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall…It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze…I have pursued my enemy and overtaken them; neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed…For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me…The Lord lives! Blessed by my Rock! Let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Psalm 18
"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced… that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain…"
President Abraham Lincoln
