Psalm 18:1-7-Song of Victory

I love you, LORD, my strength,*
    my rock, my fortress, my savior.
God, you are the rock where I take refuge;*
    my shield, my mighty help, my stronghold.
LORD, you are worthy of all praise,*
    when I call I am saved from my foes.
The waves of death rose about me;*
    the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the snares of the grave entangled me;*
    the traps of death confronted me.
In my anguish I called to you, LORD;*
    I cried to you, God, for help.
From your temple you heard my voice;*
    my cry came to your ears.
