Psalms 18:1-5

“I love You, Lord, my strength.”

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

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

The ropes of death encompassed me, And the torrents of destruction terrified me.

The ropes of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.
