New Testament

Psalms 18:2-7 New English Translation (NET)

2. The Lord is my high ridge, my stronghold, my deliverer.My God is my rocky summit where I take shelter,my shield, the horn that saves me, and my refuge.

3. I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,and I was delivered from my enemies.

4. The waves of death engulfed me,the currents of chaos overwhelmed me.

5. The ropes of Sheol tightened around me,the snares of death trapped me.

6. In my distress I called to the Lord;I cried out to my God.From his heavenly temple he heard my voice;he listened to my cry for help.

7. The earth heaved and shook;the roots of the mountains trembled;they heaved because he was angry.
