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.
