Psalms 18:1-5

1I love you, O Lord, my strength.

2The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me;

5the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
