Psalm 18:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 The Lord keeps me safe.
    He is my great rock and my strong place.
    God is my high rock.[a]
I run to him to hide and be safe.
    He keeps me safe like a soldier's shield.
    He is the strong place where I can hide safely.
3 I praise the Lord because he deserves it!
When I called to him for help,
    he saved me from my enemies.
4 Death was near enough to catch me!
    Danger was like a river that poured over me.
