1. I will love You, O Lord, my strength.
2. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;So shall I be saved from my enemies.
4. The pangs of death surrounded me,And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me;The snares of death confronted me.
6. In my distress I called upon the Lord,And cried out to my God;He heard my voice from His temple,And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
7. Then the earth shook and trembled;The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,Because He was angry.
8. Smoke went up from His nostrils,And devouring fire from His mouth;Coals were kindled by it.
9. He bowed the heavens also, and came downWith darkness under His feet.
10. And He rode upon a cherub, and flew;He flew upon the wings of the wind.
11. He made darkness His secret place;His canopy around Him was dark watersAnd thick clouds of the skies.
12. From the brightness before Him,His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire.
