1 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior,my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,my shield, and the strength of my salvation,my stronghold.
3 The Lord should be praised.I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies.
4 The ropes of death had become tangled around me.The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me.
5 The ropes of the grave had surrounded me.The clutches of death had confronted me.
