1. I love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strong rock, in him will I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4. The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5. The cords of Sheol were round about me: the snares of death came on me.
