"I love you, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and
my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
He is my shield and the horn of
my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the LORD who is worthy of
praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
The cords of the grave coiled around
me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called to the LORD;
I cried to my God for help.
From His temple He heard my voice;
my cry came before Him, into His ears."

-Psalm 18:1-6
