I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
|
|
2 |
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
|
|
3 |
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
|
|
4 |
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
|
|
5 |
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
|
|
6 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
|
|
7 |
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
|
|
8 |
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
|
|
9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
|
|
10 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
|
|
11 |
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
|
|
12 |
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
|
|
13 |
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
|
|
14 |
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
|
|
15 |
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
|
|
16 |
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
