Psalm 18 is a beautiful psalm of praise and victory after the Lord made David king over all of Israel. You can look at this story in Second Samuel 22. We'll divide this 50 verse psalm into four parts beginning with verses 1 to 18 which speaks about God's delivery when we call on Him.

"I love you, Lord;
you are my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
and my place of safety.
I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and he saved me from my enemies."
Psalm 18:1-3 NLT

Shepherd leader, like David, may you feel the same intimate love for the Father as you live into your calling.
