1 I love you, Lord. You are my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my protection, my Savior.My God is my rock.I can run to him for safety.He is my shield and my saving strength, my defender.
3 I will call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,and I will be saved from my enemies.
4 The ropes of death came around me;the deadly rivers overwhelmed me.
5 The ropes of death wrapped around me.The traps of death were before me.
6 In my trouble I called to the Lord.I cried out to my God for help.From his temple he heard my voice;my call for help reached his ears.
7 The earth trembled and shook.The foundations of the mountains began to shake.They trembled because the Lord was angry.
