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.

5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called to the Lord;

I cried to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my cry came before him, into his ears.

7 The earth trembled and quaked,

and the foundations of the mountains shook;

they trembled because he was angry.

8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;

consuming fire came from his mouth,

burning coals blazed out of it.

1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

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

My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;

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

3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4 The sorrows of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:

The snares of death prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also of the hills moved

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,

And fire out of his mouth devoured:

Coals were kindled by it.

1 I love you, Lord;

you are my strength.

2 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.

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

and he saved me from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death entangled me;

floods of destruction swept over me.

5 The grave wrapped its ropes around me;

death laid a trap in my path.

6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;

yes, I prayed to my God for help.

He heard me from his sanctuary;

my cry to him reached his ears.

7 Then the earth quaked and trembled.

The foundations of the mountains shook;

they quaked because of his anger.

8 Smoke poured from his nostrils;

fierce flames leaped from his mouth.

Glowing coals blazed forth from him.

1 I will love You, O Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;

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

3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;

So shall I be saved from my enemies.

4 The pangs of death surrounded me,

And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried out to my God;

He heard my voice from His temple,

And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,

Because He was angry.

8 Smoke went up from His nostrils,

And devouring fire from His mouth;

Coals were kindled by it.

1 I love you, Lord. You are my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior.

My God is my rock.

I can run to him for safety.

He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender.

3 I will call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

and I will be saved from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death came around me;

the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.

5 The ropes of death wrapped around me.

The traps of death were before me.

6 In my trouble I called to the Lord.

I cried out to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice;

my call for help reached his ears.

7 The earth trembled and shook.

The foundations of the mountains began to shake.

They trembled because the Lord was angry.

8 Smoke came out of his nose,

and burning fire came out of his mouth.

Burning coals went before him.

1 I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

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

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

3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4 The cords of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5 The cords of Sheol were round about me;

The snares of death came upon me.

6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry before him came into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled;

The foundations also of the mountains quaked

And were shaken, because he was wroth.

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,

And fire out of his mouth devoured:

Coals were kindled by it.

1 I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength. 2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my •God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. 3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid. 5 The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me. 6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.

1 I love you, O Lord, my strength. 

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

my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, 

my shield, and the strength of my salvation, 

my stronghold. 

3 The Lord should be praised. 

I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies. 

4 The ropes of death had become tangled around me. 

The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me. 

5 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me. 

The clutches of death had confronted me. 

6 I called on the Lord in my distress. 

I cried to my God for help. 

He heard my voice from his temple, 

and my cry for help reached his ears. 

7 Then the earth shook and quaked. 

Even the foundations of the mountains trembled. 

They shook violently because he was angry. 

8 Smoke went up from his nostrils, 

and a raging fire came out of his mouth. 

Glowing coals flared up from it. 

1 I love You, Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock,

my fortress, and my deliverer,

my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my stronghold.

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

and I was saved from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death were wrapped around me;

the torrents of destruction terrified me.

5 The ropes of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 I called to the Lord in my distress,

and I cried to my God for help.

From His temple He heard my voice,

and my cry to Him reached His ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked;

8 Smoke rose from His nostrils,

and consuming fire came from His mouth;

coals were set ablaze by it.

my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,

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

3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

so I shall be saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death encompassed me;

the torrents of perdition assailed me;

5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;

to my God I cried for help.

From his temple he heard my voice,

and my cry to him reached his ears.

7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;

the foundations also of the mountains trembled

and quaked, because he was angry.

8 Smoke went up from his nostrils,

and devouring fire from his mouth;

glowing coals flamed forth from him.

1 And he said:

“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.

3 I called upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised,

and I was saved from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death encircled me,

and streams of ruin overwhelmed me.

5 The ropes of Sheol surrounded me;

the snares of death confronted me.

6 In my trouble I called on Yahweh,

and to my God I cried for help.

He heard my voice from his temple,

and my cry for help

came up before his presence into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and quaked,

and the foundations of the mountains trembled,

and they staggered because he was angry.

and fire from his mouth consumed.

Burning coals blazed from him.

1 I love you, Lord.

You give me strength.

He is like a shield to me. He’s the power that saves me. He’s my place of safety.

3 I call out to the Lord. He is worthy of praise.

He saves me from my enemies.

4 The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me.

A destroying flood swept over me.

5 The ropes of the grave were tight around me.

Death set its trap in front of me.

6 When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord.

I cried to my God for help.

From his temple he heard my voice.

My cry for help reached his ears.

7 The earth trembled and shook.

The base of the mountains rocked back and forth.

It trembled because the Lord was angry.

Flames of fire came out of his mouth.

Burning coals blazed out of it.

1 “I love You, O Lord, my strength.”

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

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

3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,

And I am saved from my enemies.

4 The cords of death encompassed me,

And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.

5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me;

The snares of death confronted me.

And the foundations of the mountains were trembling

And were shaken, because He was angry.

And fire from His mouth devoured;

Coals were kindled by it.
