The Lord is my pillar, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I will be saved from my enemies.
The cords of death encircled me,
    and the torrents of destruction terrified me.
