1. Unto the end. For David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this canticle to the Lord, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said:
2. I will love you, O Lord my strength.
3. The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my liberator. My God is my helper, and I hope in him: my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
4. Praising, I will call upon the Lord. And I will be saved from my enemies.
5. The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity dismayed me.
6. The sorrows of Hell encompassed me, and the snares of death intercepted me.
7. In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord, and I cried out to my God. And he listened to my voice from his holy temple. And my cry in his presence entered into his ears.
8. The earth was shaken, and it trembled. The foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and they were shaken, because he was angry with them.
