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.
9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
10. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
