Psalm
18:1-6
God
Saves Those That Love Him
Psa 18:1 To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David, the
servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of
all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love
thee, O LORD, my strength.
Psa 18:2 The LORD is
my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will
trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and
my high tower.
Psa 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be
saved from mine enemies.
Psa 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and
the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
Psa 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me
about: the snares of death prevented me.
Psa 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD,
and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came
before him, even into his ears.
