אֲרוֹמֵם I shall exalt. The poet evokes God’s protective power using a series of vivid images drawn from Tanakh: God is Husband, Master, Champion, Shelter, Creator, Redeemer, Judge and Warrior. He is like an eagle, a leopard, a lion, a gazelle, a hart, a bird sheltering its young; like a tall cedar, an apple tree, myrrh and henna. The poet pours out his love for God, “my Promise, my Hope…, my Praise, my Glory, my Strength.”
