Psalm 18:4-6
English Standard Version

4 (A)The cords of death encompassed me;
    (B)the torrents of destruction assailed me;[a]
5 (C)the cords of Sheol entangled me;
    the snares of death confronted me.

6 (D)In my distress I called upon the Lord;
    to my God I cried for help.
From his (E)temple he heard my voice,
    and my cry to him reached his ears.

The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, (A)the servant of the Lord, (B)who addressed the words of this (C)song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:

18 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my (D)rock and my (E)fortress and my deliverer,
    my God, my (F)rock, in (G)whom I take refuge,
    my (H)shield, and (I)the horn of my salvation, my (J)stronghold.
