Either: God is my Rock OR My God is my rock OR The Lord is my rock


Explanation:
Both "Lord' and "God" occur in a psalm (see below). I would think that here "Dieu" = "God"

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise and I am saved from my enemies."
~Psalm 18:2-3
