The Lord is (A)my rock and (B)my fortress and my (C)savior,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My (D)shield and the (E)horn of my salvation, my (F)stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is (G)worthy to be praised,
And I am (H)saved from my enemies.

The (I)ropes of death encompassed me,
And the (J)torrents of [a]destruction [b]terrified me.
