1. David sang this song to the Lord when the Lord rescued him from all his enemies, especially from Saul.
2. He said,The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior,
3. my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield,the strength of my salvation, my stronghold,my refuge, and my Savior who saved me from violence.
4. The Lord should be praised.I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies.
5. The waves of death had surrounded me.The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me.
6. The ropes of the grave had surrounded me.The clutches of death had confronted me.
7. I called on the Lord in my distress.I called to my God for help.He heard my voice from his temple,and my cry for help reached his ears.
8. Then the earth shook and quaked.Even the foundations of the heavens trembled.They shook violently because he was angry.
