1 I love you, Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and I have been saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death entangled me;

the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,

my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

My buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

and he saved me from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death entangled me;

floods of destruction swept over me.

the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.

My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge;

My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

the torrents of perdition assailed me;

“I love you, O Yahweh, my strength.”

2 Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,

my God, my rock in whom I have taken refuge,

my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my stronghold.

4 The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me.

A destroying flood swept over me.
