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;the foundations of the mountains trembled; they shook because He burned with anger.
8. Smoke rose from His nostrils,and consuming fire came from His mouth;coals were set ablaze by it.
