Psalms 18:1-5
11“I love You, O Lord, 2my strength.”2The Lord is 3my 4rock and 5my fortress and my 6deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My 7shield and the 8horn of my salvation, my 9stronghold.3I call upon the Lord, who is 10worthy to be praised, And I am 11saved from my enemies.
4The 12cords of death encompassed me, And the 13torrents of 14ungodliness 15terrified me.5The 16cords of 17Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
