1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;my God, my strength, in whom I will trust;my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and 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 sorrows of death compassed me,and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about:the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord,and cried unto my God:he heard my voice out of his temple,and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
