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.
7. Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled, and they staggered because he was angry.
