2. I will love thee, O Lord, my strength:
3. The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in him will I put my trust. My protector and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
4. Praising I will call upon the Lord: and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5. The sorrows of death surrounded me: and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
6. The sorrows of hell encompassed me: and the snares of death prevented me.
7. In my affliction I called upon the Lord, and I cried to my God: And he heard my voice from his holy temple: and my cry before him came into his ears.
8. The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
9. There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.
10. He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
11. And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.
12. And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
