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 my enemies.
4. The pain of death compassed me, and the rivers of Belial made me afraid.
5. The pain of Sheol compassed me about: the snares of death came before 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 of the mountains collapsed and were removed because he was wroth.
