1I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.

2Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

5The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me.

6In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.

7Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
