Psalm 18: 1-6, 16-19

 

I love you, Lord, my strength.

 

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

 

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was saved from my enemies.

 

The ropes of death were wrapped around me; the torrents of destruction terrified me.

 

The ropes of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.

 

I called to the Lord in my distress, and I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.

 

...

 

16He reached down from on high and took hold of me;

 

17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me.

 

18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support.

 

19 He brought me out to a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
