1. I love You, O Lord, my strength.
2. The Lord is my pillar, and my fortress, and my deliverer;my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,and I will be saved from my enemies.
4. The cords of death encircled me,and the torrents of destruction terrified me.
5. The cords of Sheol surrounded me;the snares of death confronted me.
6. In my distress I called on the Lord,and cried for help to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,and my cry for help came before Him to His ears.
7. Then the earth shook and quaked;the foundations of the hills also moved;they reeled because His anger burned.
8. Smoke went up out of His nostrils,and fire from His mouth devoured;coals were kindled by it.
