Psalm 18:1–6
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
my fortress, and my deliverer,t
my God, my rock where I seek refuge,
my shieldu and the horn of my salvation,v
my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,w
and I was saved from my enemies.x
4 The ropes of death were wrapped around me;
the torrents of destruction terrified me.y
5 The ropes of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.z
6 I called to the Lord in my distress,
and I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,aa
and my cry to him reached his ears.ab
