1 David spoke the words of this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 He said: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer,
3 my God, my mountain where I seek refuge.My shield, the horn of my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
4 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.
5 For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.
6 The ropes of Sheol entangled me;the snares of death confronted me.
