Psalms 18:1-7 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1. "I love You, O Lord, my strength."

2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

4. The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me.

5. The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.

6. In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.

7. Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry.
