1 I love you, O Lord my strength. ♦︎
The Lord is my crag, my fortress and my deliverer,
2 My God, my rock in whom I take refuge, ♦︎
my shield, the horn of my salvation and my stronghold.
3 I cried to the Lord in my anguish ♦︎
and I was saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death entwined me ♦︎
and the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
5 The cords of the Pit fastened about me ♦︎
and the snares of death entangled me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord ♦︎
and cried out to my God for help.
