2 I will give you my love, O Lord, my strength.
3 The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour; my God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
4 I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.
5 The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.
6 The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.
7 In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears.
8 Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry.
