My rock and my refuge

1And David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song on the day when Yahweh delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.

2And he said: “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer for me.”

3my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior—you save me from violence.

4I call on Yahweh, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

5For the waves of death surrounded me; the torrents of worthlessness terrified me.

6The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me.

7In my distress I call on Yahweh; I call to my God. He hears my voice from his temple, and my cry for help reaches his ears.
