Lyrics
I love you, LORD My source of strength! The LORD is my high ridge My stronghold, my deliverer
My God is my rocky summit Where I take shelter My shield, the horn that saves me And my refuge
I called to the LORD Who is worthy of praise And I was delivered from my enemies
The waves of death engulfed me The currents of chaos overwhelmed me The ropes of Sheol tightened around me The snares of death trapped me
In my distress I called to the LORD I cried out to my God From his heavenly temple He heard my voice He listened to my cry for help
The earth heaved and shook The roots of the mountains trembled They heaved because he was angry
Smoke ascended from his nose Fire devoured as it came from his mouth He hurled down fiery coals
He made the sky sink as he descended A thick cloud was under his feet He mounted a winged angel and flew He glided on the wings of the wind
He shrouded himself in darkness In thick rain clouds From the brightness in front of him came Hail and fiery coals
The LORD thundered in the sky The Most High shouted He shot his arrows and scattered them Many lightning bolts and routed them
The depths of the sea were exposed The inner regions of the world were uncovered By your battle cry, LORD By the powerful breath from your nose
He reached down from above And took hold of me He pulled me from the surging water
He rescued me from my strong enemy From those who hate me For they were too strong for me
They confronted me In my day of calamity But the LORD helped me
He brought me out Into a wide open place He delivered me Because he was pleased with me
Wide open place Wide open place He brought me out Into a wide open place
