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.
