Psalm 18:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The Lord is my rock and my place of safety. He is the God who saves me.
    My God is my rock. I go to him for safety.
    He is like a shield to me. He’s the power that saves me. He’s my place of safety.
³ I called out to the Lord. He is worthy of praise.
    He saved me from my enemies.

⁴ The ropes of death were almost wrapped around me.
    A destroying flood swept over me.
