Psalm 18:1-6

New International Version

² The Lord is my rock,^(C) my fortress^(D) and my deliverer;^(E)
    my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,^(F)
    my shield^[b](G) and the horn^[c] of my salvation,^(H) my stronghold.

³ I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,^(I)
    and I have been saved from my enemies.^(J)
4 The cords of death^(K) entangled me;
    the torrents^(L) of destruction overwhelmed me.
⁵ The cords of the grave coiled around me;
    the snares of death^(M) confronted me.

⁶ In my distress^(N) I called to the Lord;^(O)
    I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;^(P)
    my cry came^(Q) before him, into his ears.
