1. I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior,my God, my rock in whom I take refuge,my shield, and the strength of my salvation,my stronghold.
3. The Lord should be praised.I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies.
4. The ropes of death had become tangled around me.The torrents of destruction had overwhelmed me.
5. The ropes of the grave had surrounded me.The clutches of death had confronted me.
6. I called on the Lord in my distress.I cried to my God for help.He heard my voice from his temple,and my cry for help reached his ears.
