Psalm 18:2-4

Common English Bible

² The Lord is my solid rock,
    my fortress, my rescuer.
My God is my rock—
I take refuge in him!—
        he’s my shield,
        my salvation’s strength,
        my place of safety.
³ Because he is praiseworthy,^[a]
    I cried out to the Lord,
    and I was saved from my enemies.
⁴ Death’s cords were wrapped around me;
    rivers of wickedness terrified me.
